Identify the name of the author, the title of the work, and the national origin of the writer. Then analyze the passage. It is Christmas Eve in the year of Huitziloochtli, 1969.

Three hundred brown-eyed children of he sun have come to drive the money-changers out of the richest temple in Los Angeles. It is a dark moonless night and ice-cold wind meets us at the doorstep. We carry little white candles as weapons. In pairs on the sidewalk, we trickle and bump and sing with the candles in our hands, like a bunch of cockroaches gone crazy. I am walking around giving orders like a drill sergeant.
