This volume compiled by Ilan Stavans examines the importance of
ritual and celebration and the quinceanera celebration's growing
social importance to in the Latino community, particularly in the
United States.
The essays explore the "quinceanera" and the coming-of-age
ritual from various angles. Prior to 2007, the "quinceanera"
received no formal ritual through the Catholic Church, which has
since issued one. As such, the role of religion and the Catholic
Church in the "quinceanera" celebration is given extensive
consideration. Gender, family status, class, race, as well as the
aspects of performance are all discussed as central themes of the
celebration. Delving through myriad perspectives, "Quinceaneras"
illuminates the festivities' form and function in creating social
and personal identity within the family and the larger Latino
community.
