Lädt ... U.S. Chicanas and Latinas Within a Global Context: Women of Color at the Fourth World Women's Conferencevon Louisa Morgan
   Keine Keine aktuelle Diskussion zu diesem Buch.  DebTat2 | Oct 13, 2023 |   The characters feel all the same once grown. Inane details are endlessly described. Felt like 5 short romance novels randomly stitched together in a frankenbook. If I didn't have to read this for work purposes I probably would have dropped it early on.

Using her observations of the United Nation's Fourth World Women's Conference held in China in 1995 as a foundation, the author examines the history and current situation of Latinas and attempts to place them in a global context. After examining the goals, objectives, and atmosphere of the Conference, she analyzes the Chicana feminist movement and its legacy and how Chicanas have struggled to relate to the Conference and its human rights platform. She then profiles U.S. Latinas and presents data on their reality in today's world. The response to U.S. expansionist policies and the Americanization process is examined and related to the Chicana feminist movement and its legacy. An important synthesis for students and researchers in Ethnic and Race Relations and Women's Studies. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |

The book almost reads like a book of 5 short stories. Stories that are connected yet complete in themselves. Told in separate sections starting in 1821, each section focuses on the life of each of the 5 witches in the Orchiéres families descendants and revolves around the relationships between mothers and daughters, each generation’s loves rivalries, and the fight they face to keep their beliefs and craft hidden.
The different women in each story are all distinct characters and not all are very pleasant or likeable! I did find that some stories were better than others with the best being Nanette’s story which takes us through the main storyline and taking us on to the next generation.
The world war 2 part will require you to suspend reality and embrace the magic of the witches and even though it maybe a stretch of the imagination it is a great addition to the book bringing real life history and giving it a whole new magical spin to it.
The only thing i am a bit disappointed in was the ending but perhaps it’s been left open for a sequel. I really hope so!! (
