About me:
..This profile was edited with NewMyspace 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. Visit Amazon.com to pre-order Hijas Americanas. Visit http://hijasamericanas.wordpress.com to follow the book's journey. Visit www.rosiemolinary.com to learn more about the author.

Death of an Angel in Iran

You have surely heard about the tragic death of a
brave young woman who was murdered in Iran
just for peacefully protesting with her father
on the streets of Teheran.

Her Name was Neda - please remember her.

Neda

CNN: "Neda" becomes rallying cry for Iranian protests (click here to read)

Holitas,
Pasar para ver eso…es muy hermoso…

Las Picardías del Güegüense es una versión narrativa de la mas controversial obra de la literatura nicaragüense, como es la comedia bailete El Güegüense o la Danza del Macho Ratón, del Siglo XVII. El Güegüense fue declarado Patrimonio Oral e Intangible de la Humanidad por la UNESCO en noviembre del 2005 y es considerada una obra excepcional como testimonio en la gestación de la tradición cultural mestiza en la época colonial española en Nicaragua.

Hi Rosie! Hope you're having a nice week getting ready for Christmas :) Listen, I've been trying to reach your parents but can never seem to get anyone to answer the phone! Eric and I want to get together with them when we're in town (we arrive tomorrow - Tuesday) and will be there through the 26th. I wanted to see if we could come by Christmas Eve during the day but wanted to touch base and make sure they were home before we headed over there since it's a little bit of a drive.
Can you relay the message with you talk to your parents?
