Tips for finding articles for The Repbublic of East LA, by Luis Rodriquez
Searching "The Republic of East LA" in one search box and "Luis Rodriguez" in a separate search box yielded the most relevant results, to find articles and reviews about this specific title.
Another approach to finding relevant articles would be for students to find themes within the book (such as homelessness, gang violence, etc.) and search those independently, then make your own analysis on how they relate to the book
