Reseña del editor:

Mascaras (Masks) brings together some of the most talented contemporary Latina writers in the United States. These essays illuminate the ways life and craft are entwined. They are a courageous testament to the odds Latina writers must overcome to clear the space and achieve a voice in our society.
Honest and open, these writers discuss the historical, linguistic, political, economic, and cultural realities that have shaped them as women and writers of color in the United States. Their lucid prose gives insight into the discipline and hard work necessary to reclaim, as Michelle Cliff might say, an identity they taught us to despise.
