La Voz De M.A.Y.O: Tata Rambo is based on the oral history of Ramon Jaurigue, an orphan and WWII veteran who co-founded the Mexican, American, Yaqui, and Others (M.A.Y.O.) organization, which successfully lobbied the Tucson City Council to improve living and working conditions for members of the Pascua Yaqui tribe. Thanks to this period of activism, the Yaquis were federally recognized as one of the remaining Native American tribes. Meanwhile Ramon's home life suffered as his focus was pulled from family to wider community, and from domesticity to the adrenaline of the campaign. A resonant, neglected slice of American history is told for the first time with art by J. Gonzo, letter art by Bernardo Brice, edited by Claire Napier, and La Voz de M.A.Y.O boasts a script by Henry Barajas the great-grandson of Ramon Jaurigue, a.k.a. Tata Rambo.… (meer)

Henry Barajas researches and writes about his great-grandfather, Ramon H. Jaurigue, a political activist who worked to prevent a freeway being built through the area inhabited by Mexican American and Yaqui peoples in the Tucson, Arizona, area in the late 1960s/early 1970s. He also strived to build up the community and help the Pascua Yaqui gain federal recognition as a tribe.
Barajas gives a warts and all portrait full of passion and love, but the narrative suffers from occasional vagueness and some confusing transitions. And there are unanswered questions about how Jaurigue went from being an influential figure on the rise to being ignored or forgotten by the community in later years. The back matter includes newsletters, local newspaper clippings, and an essay by Jaurigue that are a bit dull and numbing to read in one shot.
The art is serviceable, but a bit odd and awkward in places. ( )

City of South Tucson, Arizona March 25, 2015
It was the weekend before Cesar Chavez Day. I wanted to take my great-grandfather, Ramon Jaurigue, to his last march in solidarity for Rosa Robles. He deserved to leave this life on his two feet. Fighting for what's right.
