Who are Latinos and where do they fit in America’s racial order? In this “timely and important examination of Latinx identity” (Ms.), Laura E. Gómez, a leading critical race scholar, argues that it is only recently that Mexican Americans, Puerto Ricans, Cubans, Dominicans, Central Americans, and others are seeing themselves (and being seen by others) under the banner of a cohesive racial identity.
Mental Health Narratives from People of Color (English and Spanish Edition).
This important bilingual mental health photo book that focuses solely on people of color.
To find answers she interviewed people of color across the country. She asked about access to mental health services, getting culturally competent care, people living with a mental health diagnosis.
People responded with compelling stories full of truth and insight. They report on what helps them survive, how to navigate family and cultural beliefs about mental illness, and share their triumphs.
In the book Kachi states “More representation of people who look like me who also deal with mental illness is important.” “Tener más representación de personas que se parecen a mí y que también lidian con enfermedades mentales es crucial.”
LONGLISTED FOR THE 2023 NATIONAL BOOK AWARD
Named one of NPR’s Books We Love“How many bad lovers have gotten poems? How many crushes? No disrespect to romantic love―but what about our friends ? Those homies who are there all along―cheering for us and reminding us that love is abundant.”
In this groundbreaking collection of poems, José Olivarez explores every kind of love―self, brotherly, romantic, familial, cultural. Grappling with the contradictions of the American Dream with unflinching humanity, he lays bare the ways in which “love is complicated by forces larger than our hearts.”
Whether readers enter this collection in English or via the Spanish translation by poet David Ruano González, these extraordinary poems are sure to become beloved for their illuminations of life―and love.
