2. The Mexican barrios back in my time were ghettos -- and I didnot attempt to "translate" anything

. . . . I'm using my writer's license, and EN EL BARRIO DE AYER was the title, while " (Life In the Ghetto)" was a subtitle for the reader.

I knew someone would try to translate my title literally instead of simply accepting it for what it was.

Thanks for your observation and comment, however. Appreciated.
