Diane Pub Co, 1999

Every Latino Family in the U.S. should have this book.
Raising Nuestros Ninos is by far, the best parenting book I have read. The book has helped me truly recognize my children and myself as bicultural. She addresses some difficult questions: what language should I speak to my child in? Is it really a good idea for grandma to babysit? Furthermore, Gloria makes the reader see that being bilingual and bicultural is an asset.I wish all latinas, ...

hated this book
First, let me preface this with the fact that I am not a proponent of the "English-only" movement. In fact I tend to be quite liberal in my world views. That said, this book takes the "left wing" to a whole other level. Although there were a few un-biased and truly research-based chapters, it essentially demonizes the U.S. educational system for attempting to teach English to anyone of color ...

Half and Half: Writers on Growing Up Biracial and Bicultural

hybrid vigor
This is a wonderful collection of essays on growing up biracial and bicultural. It is a little uneven. Some are more readable than others, and I found myself skimming at times when some of the essays started to feel similar, but the good parts are strong enough to make it more than worth it. A common thread that comes up are early childhood memories of not thinking much of it, followed by ...
