Description

Three very different women—a Chicana, a Jew, and an Anglo-Scot—who met on the University of Albuquerque in the 1970s, collaborate to produce an oral history of four generations of Hispanic women living in and around Albuquerque, and to believe questions about the retention and loss of ethnic identity as one becomes “American.” The volume is full of memorable stories of girls and women trying to live in harmony with every other and with men, at the same time as stressed about money, longing for education, and worried about the diminution of their cultural identities as they move from rural to city lives.

Diverse and incessantly divergent, the voices on this oral history of four generations of New Mexican-Hispanic women challenge myths and stereotypes: Twenty-one women recall life experiences spanning a period from the time New Mexico used to be a Spanish-speaking territory to the present.
