One of the best anthologies I've read. All of the essays in here were relatively strong.
I loved the discussions/thoughts on intersectionality within the Latinx community, the criticism of Latinidad, and the varied perspectives on Afro latinx identities and experiences.

Important collection of Latinx diaspora voices and all the gorgeous texture that immigration and exploration of roots cultivates. There are essays on beauty, alcoholism, colorism, proximity to whiteness, mental health stigma, relationships with fathers, uncles and in-laws. The whole purpose of this collection is to platform voices not traditionally represented on the shelves, and it does just that. Beautifully curated and incredibly important addition to our reading lives.
A beautiful collection of writing pieces across numerous perspectives and voices from our expansive and broad diaspora.
The book of 15 writers and stories to tell covers what it means to be recognized for one's identity by those within and outside of the diaspora. It covers death and grief. It covers womanhood and navigating queerness and religion. There is so much love and struggle explored that hits so close to home, with other stories broadening our understanding of what it truly means to be a community and support one another.
In this exploration of race, ethnicity, language, politics, and layered connections to cultural identity, we are presented with something very raw and honest.

It was nice getting little glimpses into people’s lives. There were some wonderful stories, and some weak ones but all in all I enjoyed this collection. I did have to google translate a few things to better understand the stories but it wasn’t much of a bother.
