Views of Latinos

I thought that Growing Up Latino really showed different views of Latino life. They do not come in all the same way. I was glad that to see some of my favorite authors were in this book. I also found new authors that I never knew I was interested in until I read this book. The book showed us through the victories and struggles that follow with the Latino culture. I really enjoyed this book and even recommended it to my friends.

Excellent

This is a marvelous anthology. I've given it to friends and want students to read. It is cleverly thought out and has a wonderful preface by Stavans and a solid introduction. The contributors are all first-rate.

well organized anthology that keeps the reader interested.

This book is an anthology of works of various hispanic writers and their experiences in the united states. It provides each reader with a sence of being because in a strange way you are able to relate to each story. Its a great book!
