Para Las Latinas, 2023

 Item
Identifier: cw_2023spring_alvarez_victoria.pdf
Overview

"Para Las Latinas is a collection of short stories told in multiple perspectives on the themes of identity, womanhood, misogyny, and culture. My experimentation with point-of-view in this collection ranges from second, roving third, and omniscient to gain a deeper sense of characters, plot, and societal commentary. The collection challenges the reader to enter worlds they are uncomfortable or unfamiliar with through bilingualism, relationship dynamics, and setting." -- Abstract

 Item
Identifier: cw_2020spring_martinez_jose_manuel.pdf
Overview "Mexicans are not a monolith, our stories have always had similar starting points—almost always with the immigrant ancestor(s). What happens to them next can be anyone's guess, but often times their primary goal is survival, though the meaning of survival depends on the family. Writing this collection, I did not presume that it would speak for every Mexican family out there, and each of those stories I haven't excavated contains a unique heart and waits further exploration.
