Early in the evening of November 25, 2006, George Bynum, the protagonist leaves his Mexican novia Patricia among anti-government protest marchers in the city of Oaxaca, Mexico and returns to his apartment to finish a report for his employers, the Rural Development through Education Center. Before he can finish, his cell phone rings. “They’re attacking! Killing..! They won’t…stop!” Patricia’s voice rings in his ears. He rushes out, hoping to find her, but blinded by teargas from a federal police assault trips and has to be helped to safety. He and several others, including a young woman named Claudi Auscher, make their way back to George’s apartment. Claudi, who defines herself as “a Mexican Jew gypsy bitch rebel” joins George in his efforts to reestablish contact with Patricia, who has been flown to a maximum security prison along with other innocent victims of the militarized purge. George and Claudi are fictional characters but the events in which they’ve become embroiled are based on the actual political and social upheavals that reverberated through Oaxaca from November 2006 through April 2007.

This is wonderful background for the time of the teachers' revolt in Oaxaca. We spend quite a bit of time here now so the references were fun to relate to & accurate as far as my experience goes. And I would say it captures the predominant attitude of the foreigners living in Oaxaca - interested in the people & brimming with volunteerism. The descriptions of the small village also echo my experience in visiting the villages.Product details

Where Gringos Don't Belong edition by Robert Stout Anna Faktorovich Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
“It's a shame there has to be a tragedy before the best in people will finally shine.” - E.A. Bucchianeri
Author Robert Stout’s book ‘Where Gringos Don't Belong’ is a fictionalized tale surrounding the factual events that took place in Oaxaca, Mexico. A major social and political upheaval took place in Oaxaca circa 2006 when non-violent protests by local groups led to a violent and brutal reaction by the police on the agitators. This event serves as the backdrop to the life story of two individuals affected by it.
Robert paints a vivid and personal portrait of Oaxaca seen through the eyes of George & Claudia as their town burned down around them. It’s a brutal reminder of the demonic violence human beings are capable of inflicting upon each other.
Claudia is an impulsive, wild & strong girl with a soft heart and her character if nicely contrasted and offset by George’s sensitive & confused personality that also has a raw edge to it. They are vastly different from one another and yet they find comfort in each other during a tragedy.
The characters are highly likeable and their emotional and physical struggles are relatable too. It will raise certain ethical and controversial questions in your mind. You will find asking yourself what you would have done in similar circumstances.
Where Gringos Don't Belong provides not only a fictional and tragic love story but also a deep insight into the various issues that plagued a town and its people during a tumultuous period.
This is wonderful background for the time of the teachers' revolt in Oaxaca. We spend quite a bit of time here now so the references were fun to relate to & accurate as far as my experience goes. And I would say it captures the predominant attitude of the foreigners living in Oaxaca - interested in the people & brimming with volunteerism.
