From the author of For Brown Girls with Sharp Edges and Tender Hearts, a celebration of the women at the heart of Latine families.
"This love letter to intergenerational relationships opens every window and door to one's heart... A healing work of art." --Yesika Salgado, author of Corazón Born into a large, close-knit family in Nicaragua, Prisca Dorcas Mojica Rodríguez grew up surrounded by strong, kind, funny, sensitive, resilient, judgmental, messy, beautiful women. Whether blood relatives or chosen family, these tías and primas fundamentally shaped her view of the world--and so did the labels that were used to talk about them. The tía loca who is shunned for defying gender roles. The pretty prima put on a pedestal for her European features. The matriarch who is the core of her community but hides all her pain. In Tías and Primas, Mojica Rodríguez explores these archetypes. Fearlessly grappling with the effects of intergenerational trauma, centuries of colonization and sexism, she attempts to heal the pain that is so often embodied in female family lines.CARE & MAINTENANCE
