love and riot in Los Angeles: the life of Oscar Zeta Acosta By Burton Moore NEW TITLE ISBN: 0-915745-29-1 $35.00. Price for class use $22.95 This is the most complete biography of the late civil-rights Chicano leader, Oscar Zeta Acosta, who led the aspirations of the Mexican American people through the courts and the media to expose racial discrimination, police abuse, and the daily trespasses of the inalienable rights of poor people in the barrios. Oscar Zeta Acosta, alias the Brown Buffalo, made history in the awakening of the Chicano movement in Los Angeles and served as a catalyst for change and hope for the community. The book is well researched, and the author interviewed many of the participants in the events of the late 60's, as well as documented Acosta's successful fight to change the Catholic Church. His legacy, wrapped in a puzzling and conflictive personal trajectory, still remains adrift and misunderstood. The impact of his advocacy, though, is crystal clear, he changed forever the courts, the jury system, and the civil rights of the Mexicans.

Acosta Zeta, Oscar Although born in El Paso, Texas on April 8, 1935, Acosta was raised in a small rural town near Modesto, California. Because Acosta's father was drafted during World War II, Oscar held much responsibility in helping to take care of the family. At times, Acosta felt like an outsider and he presents his feelings of alienation, mistrust, and dislocation in his works. He was both an intelligent and sensitive student, however in high school he began to abuse alcohol and later drugs. Finishing high school, Acosta joined the air force, showing that he was capable of being disciplined by following rules and regulations. He then worked his way through college, attended law school, and was eventually admitted to the California Bar on June 28, 1966. In 1967, Oscar began working as an attorney in Oakland for an antipoverty agency. While working in Oakland, Acosta wrote Autobiography of a Brown Buffalo, which shows how the complex relationship between Acosta, the writer, and Acosta, the subject is difficult to understand and critique. From the perspective of a confused and alienated individual who becomes a Chicano lawyer-activist, a major theme presented is his process of formation and transformation. His first novel

Book Review: Oscar "Zeta" Acosta: The Uncollected Works Reviewed by Alicia Dienst A man of tremendous passion and convictions, Oscar "Zeta" Acosta lived many lives. He was a soldier, a minister, a jazz musician, a lawyer, an activist, a novelist, a poet (some would say a failed one), and an essayist. He championed Chicano rights during America's most turbulent times. He traveled with Hunter S. Thompson. He went to jail for drug possession. And, as his death has never been confirmed, he may yet have lives to lead. This collection of "uncollected works" reads rather like Zeta's life. From autobiographical sketches to poetry, short stories, allegories, and his actual will and testament, these compositions are scattered in a miasma of consciousness and events, filling the pages without explanation, though not necessarily without order. They tell the story of a man alienated by his race, by his class, by his politics, by his misogyny, and in some ways, by his very need for justice for his people, La Raza. Challenging the stereotypes of the passive Chicano, Acosta took the activist's path during the height of the civil rights movement. The collection draws the audience in with his self-revelatory style and his childhood stories. But the themes of racial and class discrimination riddle his life and fuel his passion for justice and racial equality. His struggles with his mental health and failed relationship with his wife are revealed not only in his letters, but in his sometimes brutal tales of the human condition. In letters he writes to his wife while recovering from a nervous breakdown, he desperately pleads for forgiveness. But in his will, he spurns her.

Sitemap Fear And Loathing And Oscar Acosta Tracking the mysterious Brown Buffalo by Shermakaye Bass Published August 5, 1999 in Dirt They say Oscar Zeta Acosta disappeared off the coast of Mazatlan sometime in 1974. Vanished off the map. After years of deep-doodoo drug capering and ballsy Brown Power barristering, the legendary Acosta offed himself into the deep blue murk of one too many strange trips, leaving in the words of Hunter S. Thompson a "shitrain" of drug-hit theories and Houdini vagaries in his wake. See also... ... by Shermakaye Bass ... in the Dirt section ... from August 5, 1999 This year marks the 25th anniversary of the Brown Buffalo's fateful trip, a quarter-century since "witnesses" saw him board a boat and head out into the ocean. And twenty-five years later, his disappearance is still unresolved. No death certificate, no letters home, no clues, no body. Over the years, the fabled Dr. Gonzo of Thompson's Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas a real-life attorney whose on-the-street and in-the-courtroom persona was as surreal as his Brown Buffalo alter-ego has become something of an American Loch Ness monster. His legacy lives through various unsubstantiated sightings, through his writings, and through the bizarre theories that still abound regarding "Whatever Happened to Oscar Acosta"?
