So many things are wrong with this book
|
| Wow! This book is wrong on so many different levels I don't know where to begin. One of the problems is that the author assumes that all Hispanic women, no matter what country they are from are the same; we share the same values, have the same customs, etc. She couldn't be more wrong. She makes alot of other incorrect assumptions as well: all Latinas are saint worshipping-Santeria practicing Catholics, we all hate our mothers, we all speak Spanglish, we're all "brown". Not true! Also, some of the issues and problems she talks about throughout her book could be attributed to socio-economic conditions and not race or ethnicity. Much of the "advice" she dishes out is applicable to people of all nationalities, not just Hispanic women. It seems that the author has alot of personal unresolved issues and she made it a point to reflect those issues in her book. But once again she assumes that we all have her same problems, but of course not all of us do. Instead burdening us with her screwed up notions of identity in the form of a self-help book, what Ms. Guzman should have done is written an autobiography. |
