Book Description
This book defies easy categorization but will be one of the most original, thoughtful, and genuinely interesting books published next year. Before the author's mother died, she asked her daughter, Drucilla, to write a book 'that would bear witness to the dignity of her death [and one that] her bridge class would be able to understand.' As if that wasn't difficult enough, Drucilla's mother, who had a degenerative disease, decided to end her life by ingesting a lethal cocktail of drugs. Drucilla was in the unenviable position of bearing witness to her mother's act. Unsentimental yet poignant, candid and courageous, this is the book that Drucilla promised her mother she'd write. Unlike her earlier academically-oriented books, Between Women and Generations is an intensely personal narrative which interweaves the personal and political decisions Drucilla's made throughout her life. She uses the personal as a springboard to talk about larger philosophical issues such as how one achieves dignity in life and in death, and the nature of intergenerational relationships between women. Drucilla speaks candidly of her relationship with her mother, about her decision to adopt a non-Western child, and about her commitment to UNITY, a cooperative of house cleaners in Long Island, New York. This book will resonate strongly with Western women.

Book Description
USA TODAY BESTSELLER Un nuevo libro de memorias de la cantante ganadora del Latin Grammy y autora bestseller del New York Times, Chiquis Rivera, quien comparte sus triunfos, desafíos y lecciones de vida tras la muerte de su madre, Jenni Rivera. En los meses que siguieron a la trágica muerte de su madre, el mundo de Chiquis Rivera cayó en picada. Después de dejar de lado sus sueños para apoyar la metamorfosis de Jenni Rivera de cantante en ciernes a legendaria “Diva de la Banda”, un desgarrador malentendido impulsó a Jenni a excluir a Chiquis de su testamento y a desterrar a su hija de su vida. Aun abatida y procesando esta peripecia, Chiquis luego se vio sumida en la oscuridad con el fallecimiento prematuro de su madre. Mientras intentaba desesperadamente recoger los pedazos rotos de su vida, también tuvo que sacar fuerzas para volver a criar y cuidar a sus hermanos como hermana, figura materna y amiga. Rendirse no era una opción. Salir de la sombra de la ilustre carrera de su madre y descubrir su propia identidad como cantante fue un reto en sí mismo...pero navegar sus relaciones malsanas casi la hunde. Cuando Chiquis conoce y se casa con quien cree ser el hombre de sus sueños, parece que por fin todo se empieza a acomodar. Pero un secreto oscuro desmorona su relación, empujándola a recurrir a su resiliencia para emerger como una mujer soltera, chingona y segura de sí misma. Con la calidez, el humor y la positividad que la caracterizan, Chiquis comparte su cruda e íntima batalla para reconstruirse después de Jenni. También revela los detalles detrás de lo que ocurrió en su matrimonio, dónde se encuentra con respecto al legado de la familia Rivera, cómo pasó de ser una cantante con los nervios de punta y una emprendedora novata a una intérprete ganadora de un Grammy y una próspera empresaria, y qué visualiza para su futuro. Al final, nada puede detener a Chiquis. Su filosofía de vida lo dice todo: “O gano o aprendo”. Lleno de revelaciones afirmativas, Chiquis comparte su mayor regalo con sus fans: las lecciones inspiradoras y accesibles que la han hecho invencible.

Book Description
This volume presents both an analysis of how identities are built, represented and negotiated in narrative, as well as a theoretical reflection on the links between narrative discourse and identity construction. The data for the book are Mexican immigrants' personal experience narratives and chronicles of their border crossings into the United States. Embracing a view of identity as a construct firmly grounded in discourse and interaction, the author examines and illustrates the multiple threads that connect the local expression and negotiation of identity to the wider social contexts that frame the experience of migration, from material conditions of life in the United States to mainstream discourses about race and color. The analysis reveals how identities emerge in discourse through the interplay of different levels of expression, from implicit adherence to narrative styles and ways of telling, to explicit negotiation of membership categories.
