This was an interesting journey into the coming of age ceremony for many young Latina women. I only became aware of Quinceaneras within the past 20 years, and wonder if that's a factor of a second generation actually being born here in the US rather than being newly immigrated from elsewhere. Alvarez;s own story and journey through her own coming of age was interesting as well. It makes me want to re-read her fiction and poetry with a different eye, now. There were passages when I felt something was beautifully expressed, but unfortunately, as I listened to this as an audio book, I couldn't mark them to record here. A definite disadvantage to mixed media, for sure. Alvarez, writes about the Latino tradition of the quinceanera, an “elaborate, ritualized fiesta” on a girl’s fifteenth birthday. She traveled to various Latino communities in the U.S. and documented all the details of the quince: the mandatory limo, the photographer, the court and their professionally choreographed dances, the cake, and the gown. She researched the history of the ritual, from Mayan ceremonies to Spanish balls. The quinceanera thrives today in the U.S., as a way for girls to keep in touch with their culture. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

La fiesta de quince a?s de las muchachas latinas o "la quincea?ra," como se le conoce en Estados Unidos, se ha convertido en una tendencia singularmente americana. Esta espl?dida fiesta a menudo es tan costosa como un baile de graduacin? o una boda. Sin embargo, muchas jv?enes latinas sienten que tienen derecho a este rito de iniciacin?, que se?la el momento en que se vuelven mujeres, y esperan que no se escatime ningn? gasto, ni siquiera entre las familias de escasos recursos. La aclamada escritora Julia Alvarez explora la historia y la relevancia cultural de cumplir los quince a?s en Estados Unidos, y usa este acontecimiento como un lente a trav del cual examinar el proceso de cambio por el que est ?pasando la mujer latina en los EE.UU. --Desde la descripcin? de la editorial.
