At fifty, Laura is diagnosed with Alzheimer. Since that fateful day, in desperation, she prepares herself for that moment when she will no longer be able to assume the responsibility of managing her own life. Laura leaves her daughter, Ana, with special instructions which will allow the two women to communicate even after the disease has advanced. With From a Branch: Alzheimer, the author sets out to demonstrate her firm belief that, while Reason may become clouded, our feelings live on, complete, inviolate.
"Telling to Live" embodies the vision that compelled Latina
feminists to engage their differences and find common ground. Its
contributors reflect varied class, religious, ethnic, racial,
linguistic, sexual, and national backgrounds. Yet in one way or
another they are all professional producers of "testimonios"--or
life stories--whether as poets, oral historians, literary scholars,
ethnographers, or psychologists. Through coalitional politics,
these women have forged feminist political stances about generating
knowledge through experience. Reclaiming "testimonio" as a tool for
understanding the complexities of Latina identity, they compare how
each made the journey to become credentialed creative thinkers and
writers. "Telling to Live" unleashes the clarifying power of
sharing these stories. "Contributors." Luz del Alba Acevedo, Norma Alarcon, Celia Alvarez, Ruth Behar, Rina Benmayor, Norma E. Cantu, Daisy Cocco De Filippis, Gloria Holguin Cuadraz, Liza Fiol-Matta, Yvette Flores-Ortiz, Ines Hernandez-Avila, Aurora Levins Morales, Clara Lomas, Iris Ofelia Lopez, Mirtha N.
