His family, his girlfriend and the law think otherwise. DonÍt Spit on My Corner is a fresh, new chronicle of growing up on the ñwrong side of the tracksî and clashing with the law. The novel is based on DurànÍs own experiences as a teenage pachuco.

DonÍt Spit on My Corner is absolutely necessary reading for urban youth and everyone interested in them.
