Zinn's reading talks about Chicano men and their masculinity. Chicano men are not treated very well in society, they don't get very good jobs and if they do get a job their boss treats them like crap. This cases them to be mad at their wives and children. I think the issue they are having is a internal one because they may feel bad about being put down all the time by their bosses or by anyone in society. They don't like the way they are treated so they take it out on others inferior than them.
This is a short summary of the reading. You were asked to respond to Zinn's article. I suggest you select one point or quote from Zinn's article, and analyze it.
