Mi Latina: The Bloody Romance By: King Tremayne Mi Latina: The Bloody Romance is an extremely cautionary tale of a man named Steve Davis, born and raised in the U.S. murder capital: Chicago, Illinois. He decides to trade the rough life of Chicago’s Northside ghetto, for a perceived family life in Colombia, only to fall madly in love (at first sight), with one Sonrisa Ciela Jerez, only to find she has a dreadfully sordid past that involves one of the most notoriously vindictive drug lords who may have ever walked the face of the earth. Steve quickly finds himself staunchly defending this woman, immediately starting a war with drug lord Vibora, in the first and only attempt to avenge the wrongs that the love of his life, Sonrisa, suffered at the hands of this monster.

Book Description
The increasing diversity of the U.S. Latino population has given rise to a growing population of “mixed” Latinos. This is a study of such individuals raised in Chicago, Illinois who have one Mexican parent and one Puerto Rican parent, most of whom call themselves “MexiRicans.” Given that these two varieties of Spanish exhibit highly salient differences, these speakers can be said to experience intrafamilial dialect contact. The book first explores the lexicon, discourse marker use, and phonological features among two generations of over 70 MexiRican speakers, finding several connections to parental dialect, neighborhood demographics, and family dynamics. Drawing from critical mixed race theory, it then examines MexiRicans’ narratives about their ethnic identity, including the role of Spanish features in the ways in which they are accepted or challenged by monoethnic, monodialectal Mexicans and Puerto Ricans both in Chicago and abroad. These findings contribute to our understandings of dialect contact, U.S. Spanish, and the role of language in ethnic identity.

Book Description
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. The complex and rich tapestry of narratives that comprises this book introduces us to an intergenerational group of Latina women who negotiate their place in U.S. society at the cusp of the twenty-first century. These are the stories of women who struggled to reach the echelons of higher education, often against great odds, and constructed relationships of sustenance and creativity along the way. The stories, poetry, memoirs, and reflections of this diverse group of Puerto Rican, Chicana, Native American, Mexican, Cuban, Dominican, Sephardic, mixed-heritage, and Central American women provide new perspectives on feminist theorizing, perspectives located in the borderlands of Latino cultures. This often heart wrenching, sometimes playful, yet always insightful collection will interest those who wish to understand the challenges U.S. society poses for women of complex cultural heritages who strive to carve out their own spaces in the ivory tower.

Book Description
In Valeria Aloe’s Uncolonized Latinas we discover that, in order to improve the world, we must first start with ourselves. This book takes us on a journey to do just that. Along the way we meet immigrant Latinas and daughters of immigrants who, through trials and tribulations, have uncolonized their limiting mindsets and have found their true selves. This book teaches us to: - Embrace our individual and collective greatness, as we honor our stories and our ancestry. - Become more aware of the limiting cultural narratives that have been running us, many times unconsciously. - Strategize in an effort to better support a career or business, learning from those Latinas who figured out how to navigate the system. - Feel motivated, as a Latina, to take action to thrive in a career and life from a place of self-love and self-esteem. As an ally, feel more confident and become more effective when leading and mentoring diverse talent. Through this journey we can learn how to experience transformational change—open our heart, mind, and eyes.
