Customer Reviews

Year of our revolution is both nostalgic & eloquent

New Jersey Barrio young woman discovers her womanhood and sexual self through the time of the counter culture movement of the 1960s. Maria Elenita makes a stand against her Mother's traditional Puerto Rican/American upbringing, she refuses to decorate her room with angels and Saints, distaining what her parents loved and shocking her Mother. The poems, essays and recolections are beautifully written. Nostalgic for those who grew up in that time and in those circumstances and of interest to young women, particularly those of latino or hispanic background.
