What are the motifs in The Revolt of the Cockroach People by Oscar Zeta Acosta?

A recurring idea of the book is that of revenge. The people suffering from the oppression of the system wanted to strike out at those causing the oppression. The frustration and anger that resulted from the oppression led to their riots and acts of violence. The Chicanos felt that they were persecuted and discriminated against and the marches and demonstrations organized by the Chicano Militants provided a common rallying point and way to express their anger and frustration. The anger and frustration leads to acts of revenge and violence.
