Societal Suicide is a cultural-racial analysis of the enduring legacy called Animus Americana, which affects the psyche of Mexicans in the United States, specifically Los Angeles. This work is a compilation of factors, experiences, and realities that make one suicidal both from a societal and familial perspective. This timely and deeply personal exploration into the roots of suicidal tendencies in Mexicans living in the United States is a revealing study of culture, assimilation, social pressures, and identity.
