"In this magical work, the author, delves wll beyond the myths of the Mexican Woman as long-suffering wife and vindictive withh as she records Esperanza's story in her own words. This book also records the subtle ironies and difficulties inherent in any encounter between two people from different cultures and classes. Behar eventually abandons the traditional rolesof interviewr and subject as Esperanza's story leads her to reflect on her own life as a Cuban immigrant in the U.S. In a moving final chapter, she explores her uncomfortable position as a Latina scholar who has achieved success in the American academy." from the jacket flap.
