Early lifeHe was born on July 31, 1944, into a Mexican immigrant family in San Francisco, California. Rodriguez spoke Spanish until he went to a Catholic school at 6. As a youth in Sacramento, California, he delivered newspapers and worked as a gardener. He graduated from Sacramento's Christian Brothers High School. CareerRodriguez received a B.A. from Stanford University, an M.A. from Columbia University, was a Ph.D. candidate in English Renaissance literature at the University of California, Berkeley, and attended the Warburg Institute in London on a Fulbright fellowship.[1] A noted prose stylist, Rodriguez has worked as a teacher, international journalist, and educational consultant, and he has appeared regularly on the Public Broadcasting Service show, NewsHour.[4] Rodriguez's visual essays, ''Richard Rodriguez Essays, on "The News Hour with Jim Lehrer" earned Rodriguez a Peabody Award in 1997. Rodriguez’s books include Hunger of Memory: The Education of Richard Rodriguez (1982), a collection of autobiographical essays; Mexico's Children (1990); Days of Obligation: An Argument With My Mexican Father (1992), which was nominated for the Pulitzer Prize; Brown: The Last Discovery of America (2002); and Darling: A Spiritual Autobiography (2013). Rodriguez's works have also been published in Harper's Magazine, Mother Jones, and Time.[5] Instead of pursuing a career in academia, Rodriguez suddenly decided to write freelance and take other temporary jobs. His first book, Hunger of Memory: The Education of Richard Rodriguez, was published in 1982. It was an account of his journey from being a "socially disadvantaged child" to becoming a fully assimilated American, from the Spanish-speaking world of his family to the wider, presumably freer, public world of English. However, the journey was not without costs: his American identity was achieved only after a painful separation from his past, his family, and his culture. "Americans like to talk about the importance of family values," said Rodriguez. "But America isn't a country of family values; Mexico is a country of family values. This is a country of people who leave home." While the book received widespread critical acclaim and won several literary awards, it also stirred resentment because of Rodriguez's strong stands against bilingual education and affirmative action. Some Mexican Americans called him pocho, Americanized Mexican, accusing him of betraying himself and his people. Others called him a "coconut," brown on the outside, but white on the inside. He calls himself "a comic victim of two cultures."[6] Rodriguez's most recent book, Darling: A Spiritual Autobiography (2013), explores the important symbolism of the desert in Judaism, Islam and Christianity. In an interview before the book came out, Rodriguez reported that he was "interested in the fact that three great monotheistic religions were experienced within this ecology."[7] A sample of the project appeared in Harper's Magazine (January 2008). In this essay, "The God of the Desert: Jerusalem and the Ecology of Monotheism,"[8] Rodriguez portrays the desert as a paradoxical temple, its emptiness the requisite for God's elusive presence. Personal lifeRodriguez is gay.[6] He came out in his book of essays Days of Obligation.[9] References1. ^1 {{cite book |chapter=Richard Rodriguez |title=Dictionary of Hispanic Biography |publisher=Gale |date=November 6, 1996 |accessdate=2012-01-05 |url=http://ic.galegroup.com/ic/bic1/ReferenceDetailsPage/ReferenceDetailsWindow?displayGroupName=Reference&disableHighlighting=false&prodId=BIC1&action=e&windowstate=normal&catId=&documentId=GALE%7CK1611000359&mode=view&userGroupName=fairfax_main&jsid=bf60340992e4eefb0367c76c6b69ff88 |id=GALE|K1611000359 |format=fee, via Fairfax County Public Library}} Gale Biography In Context. 2. ^{{cite book |chapter=Richard Rodriguez |title=Contemporary Authors Online |location=Detroit |publisher=Gale |year=2003 |accessdate=2012-01-05 |chapter-url=http://ic.galegroup.com/ic/bic1/ReferenceDetailsPage/ReferenceDetailsWindow?displayGroupName=Reference&disableHighlighting=false&prodId=BIC1&action=e&windowstate=normal&catId=&documentId=GALE%7CH1000084032&mode=view&userGroupName=fairfax_main&jsid=e9557825029a3b2f2e024937ec3e86a1 |id=GALE|H1000084032 |format=fee, via Fairfax County Public Schools}} Gale Biography In Context. 3. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.colorado.edu/cwa/bios.html?id=62&year=2001 |accessdate=2012-01-06 |title=Participants |work=64th Annual Conference on World Affairs |publisher=CU-Boulder}} 4. ^{{cite web|title=NewsHour Essayists|url=https://www.pbs.org/newshour/indepth_coverage/entertainment/essays/|publisher=PBS|accessdate=16 September 2012}} 5. ^{{cite book |first1=Jean |last1=Wyrick |first2=Beverly J. |last2=Slaughter |title=The Rinehart Reader |edition=third |year=1999 |pages=309, 586 |isbn=0-15-505512-7 |location=Fort Worth |publisher=Harcourt Brace College Publishers}} (Thomson Heinle) 6. ^1 {{citation |title=A View From the Melting Pot: An Interview with Richard Rodriguez |first=Scott |last=London |magazine=The Sun |location=Chapel Hill, North Carolina |date=August 1997 |url=http://www.scottlondon.com/interviews/rodriguez.html |accessdate=2012-01-06|issue=260}} Originally titled Crossing Borders - An Interview With Richard Rodriguez. 7. ^Rodriguez, Richard, "The God of the Desert" in The Best American Essays 2009, Ed.
