About this book

"This book provides the first book-length examination of the writings of Julia Alvarez, the author of How the Garcia Girls Lost Their Accents and nearly a dozen other books of fiction and non-fiction and one of today's most widely read Latina writers. Kelli Lyon Johnson illuminates the themes, ideals, and passions that unite these diverse works, all of which explore issues of understanding and representing identity within a global society."--Jacket.
