From his San Francisco home, author Reynaldo Berrios started Mi Vida Locamaga-zine in 1992 (nearly two years prior to the release of Allison Anders' movie of the same name) with ambitious goals: "I wanted vatosto get started on a peace treaty. I wanted for cholosto stop the drive-bys. I wanted for the mainstream to stop acting as if La Raza didn't exist. I wanted my people to have a voice and to be proud of our beliefs, our heroes, and our culture."
Cholo Styleincludes interviews and photographs obtained at great risk from gang members and underworld leaders throughout the state of California, plus intense, stylized line drawings from barrios, prisons, and low-rider cultural gatherings.
With over 150 photographs, illustrations, and letters, the sharply designed Cholo Stylepresents the fast-expanding Chicano barrio culture from its most authentic and street-credible perspective.
