Alfredo Véa, Jr.
Alfredo Véa, Jr. (born 28 June 1950)〔 is a Mexican-Yaqui-Filipino-American〔 lawyer and novelist who has written three novels: ''La Maravilla'', ''The Silver Cloud Café'', and ''Gods Go Begging'', which the ''Los Angeles Times'' named one of the best books of 1999.〔
==Biography==
Véa grew up in the "Buckeye Road" barrio near Phoenix, Arizona, where he lived with his Mexican grandparents, who passed on to him their Spanish and Yaqui heritages. Thus, Véa's small-town environment was multicultural and multilingual and provided him a strong sense of ''mestizo'' identity that informs his writing.〔 His mother, who had left him with her parents when he was six (his father having never been a part of the picture), returned when he was ten to take him with her to her new family California, where he worked as a migrant farmworker alongside Mexican and French Canadian ''braceros'' and where he learned to read and write from his Filipino friends.〔 Eventually, he was placed in Livermore High School at the 10th-grade level, and was mentored by a teacher named Jack Beery, to whom Véa dedicated ''La Maravilla''.〔〔
After high school, Véa attended the University of California, Berkeley and spent some time living among the Yaqui in Sonora, Mexico, but was drafted into the Army and sent to the Vietnam War in 1968.〔 After returning from Vietnam, Véa moved to Paris and worked as a janitor at Le Cordon Bleu, before he was caught by immigration officials and returned to the States. In 1971, he returned to Berkeley, eventually getting undergraduate degrees in English and Physics and, in 1978, his law degree.〔 He worked first for the Centro Legal de la Raza〔 and then for several years as a public defender in San Francisco before entering private practice.〔Moser, Kate. ("Defense Attorney Uses Storytelling Skills at Trial and in Novels" ) 22 January 2010, at ''Law.com'', accessed 23 July 2010.〕 His experiences as a lawyer inspired his writing career; he has said that he started writing in 1989, after the judge on one of his cases stated he hadn't been aware that there were any Mexican lawyers.〔
