Why, in the minds of most Americans, are Latinas still thought of
as maids, seductresses, and booty-shaking salsa divas?
Never has the concept of Latina identity been more relevant.
Also, never has there been a new generation of Latinas so ready to
say what they mean and even criticize the Latina generation that
preceded them. Until now.
In "Border-Line Personalities," twenty writers share their
poignant and wickedly funny stories about fighting with their
mothers, struggling with speaking Spanish, and dealing with the men
who've done them wrong, among a myriad of other topics. In the end,
each essay encompasses a different point of view, lending credence
to the theory that no one can label any one item, idea, or person
more Latina than the other.
Questions posed to Latinas of all ages in "Border-Line
Personalities": Why do many of us often feel more American than
Latina? How important is Spanish, really? Do we all really fit
under one cultural umbrella? When thinking about having children,
do we really have to consider being stay-at-home moms as most of us
were raised to believe was law, or can Latinas even consider the
possibility of raising children while working? What do we do when
we fall in love with someone (male or female) outside our
culture?
