About the Book

La biografia franca, inteligente, inspiradora --y a menudo graciosisima-- de uno de los mas intrepidos lideres politicos de los Estados Unidos.

Adorado por los inmigrantes y trabajadores por cuyos derechos tanto ha luchado, el Congresista Luis Gutierrez es, junto con la Juez de la Corte Suprema Sonia Sotomayor, la figura publica hispana mas reconocida en los Estados Unidos.

En No he dejado de sonar, Gutierrez hace recuento de una vida transcurrida entre dos mundos: demasiado puertorriqueno para ser norteamericano y demasiado norteamericano para ser puertorriqueno. En los Estados Unidos le dijeron que regresara al lugar de donde habia venido, mientras que en Puerto Rico se burlaban del a oegringoa ? que no sabia hablar espanol. Reparando en sus anos de juventud, nadie hubiera pensado que llegaria a ocupar un lugar prominente a nivel nacional, pero su tenacidad y formidable voluntad modelaron sus diversas experiencias --desde cosechar granos de cafe hasta conducir un taxi-- para dar lugar a una de las carreras mas sorprendentes en el mundo de la politica norteamericana.

Gutierrez fue una de las primeras figuras publicas latinas en apoyar los derechos de los homosexuales; encabezo la lucha para reducir los sueldos del Congreso; elaboro legislaciones con Ted Kennedy y con John McCain, y lucho contra Newt Gingrich y George W. Bush. A pesar de apoyar a Barack Obama en ambas elecciones, fue arrestado en dos ocasiones mientras protestaba a favor de los derechos de inmigrantes frente a la Casa Blanca del presidente Obama.

Los recuerdos de sus fracasos cuando era un joven activista y sus ingeniosas observaciones sobre la decoracion de la oficina de Kennedy y la formalidad de los meseros en el comedor de la camara de diputados, fascinaran a todo lector, mientras que el testimonio de su vida servira para inspirarnos a luchar por nuestros derechos y los de los demas.

Resenas:
En una era de polarizacion politica, Luis Gutierrez cuenta historias de la gente enloquecida, los tratos descabellados, la dicha de ascender de taxista a tener un voto en el Congreso. Este libro es muy buena compania.
Juan Williams, analista politico de Fox News y columnista para The Hill

No solo una cautivadora narrativa personal sino un argumento convincente para una reforma de inmigracion completa, la inspiradora historia del congresista Gutierrez es prueba de que la tenacidad es la llave que abre las puertas del Sueno Americano.
Harry Reid, lider de la mayoria del Senado

Lee no he dejado de sonar y tendras una mejor opinion de los Estados Unidos. Luis Gutierrez --un hombre lleno de pasion, humor y visiones fascinantes-- nunca ha olvidado de donde viene, aun cuando ha alcanzado los niveles mas altos del poder publico. Que no te quepa la menor duda, esta es la historia de un americano extraordinario.
Senador Bill Bradley


ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Beloved by the immigrants and working people whose rights he has championed, eleven-term Congressman Luis Gutierrez is, among Latinos and along with Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor, the most recognized Hispanic public figure in America. Here Gutierrez recounts his life between two worlds: too Puerto Rican in America, where he was born and yet was told to "go back to where you came from"; too American in Puerto Rico, where he was ridiculed as a "gringo" who couldn't speak Spanish. For much of his early life, he seemed like the last person who would rise to national prominence. Yet his tremendous will and resilience shaped his varied experiences--from picking coffee beans to driving a cab--into one of the most surprising careers in American politics. He campaigned for Chicago's first black mayor, Harold Washington. Someone threw a Molotov cocktail through the window of his house, and he only grew more committed to reform. Tested in the crucible of the notoriously tough Chicago city
