June 1, 2007: Seal Press will publish Hijas Americanas: Beauty, Body Image, and Growing Up Latina by Rosie Molinary. Showcasing self-actualization, body image, and beauty perception among Latina women in a United States culture very different from their families' native culture, Hijas Americanas provides a provocative account of the inner struggles and triumphs of Latin-American women as we are forced to reconcile two realities: that beauty, identity, and womanhood within our homes are largely defined by our ethnic culture and parents’ upbringing, while beauty, identity, and womanhood outside our homes are defined by American culture-- often presenting us with two very different standards. This empathetic ethnography offers a portrait of the young Latina experience in America, detailing how growing up American and Latina affects who one becomes and how she gets there.
