I wish that I had learned more about AOC's background, her policy proposals, her pre-political life. What I got, instead, was a collection of essays from people who probably want the same questions answered. I loved seeing how people connected with her but there was simply too much of a distance between the writers and the subject. ( ) Let me start by saying, I flat-out loved this book. The idea behind it is brilliant: bring together a community of exceptional Latinx writer and thinkers and let each of them address the significance of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and her election in their own way. There's an open letter, a discussion of different types of Spanish-language fluency, some Puerto Rican and Newyorican history. I loved this book. Every piece in it shone in its own way—and they all head me thinking in rich, creative—and hopeful—ways about our current world and its possibilities. I've already decided that I'm using this book as the main text in one of my writing courses next year. These writers speak truths I don't even have the language for, and that I still know will speak to my students in ways that will give them their own reasons to write.

"In the vein of Notorious RBG, fifteen writers explore the multiple meanings of a young Latina politician who has already made history. From the moment Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez beat a ten-term incumbent in the primary election for New York's 14th, her journey to the national, if not world, stage, was fast-tracked. Six months later, as the youngest Congresswoman ever elected, AOC became one of a handful of Latina politicians in Washington, D.C. Just thirty, she represents her generation, the millennials, in many groundbreaking ways: proudly working class, Democratic Socialist, of Puerto Rican descent, master of social media, not to mention of the Bronx, feminist-and a great dancer. AOC investigates her symbolic and personal significance for so many, from her willingness to use her imperfect bi-lingualism, to the threat she poses by governing like a man, to the long history of Puerto Rican activism that she joins. Contributors span a wide range of voices and ages, from media to the arts and politics; they include Rebecca Traister, Jennine Capo Crucet, Andrea Gonzalez-Ramirez, Patricia Reynoso, Pedro Regalado, Natalia Sylvester, Carmen Rita Wong, Tracey Ross, Erin Aubry Kaplan, Mariana Atencio, Wendy Carrillo, Nathan J. Robinson, Elizabeth Yeampierre, Prisca Dorcas Mojica Rodriguez, and Maria Cristina "MC" Gonzalez Noguera."-- No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |
