She was awed by her mother and aunts and cousins, but haunted by the untold stories of the barrio--even as she tried to find her own voice in the sea of language around her, written and spoken, English and Spanish, bodies and books, Western art and sacred altars. Her family became her private pantheon, a gathering circle of powerful orisha-like women with tragic real-world wounds, and she vowed to tell their stories--but first she'd have to get off the stairs and join the dance. She'd have to find her language. Weaving together Hudes's love of music with the songs of her family, the lessons of North Philly with those of Yale, this is a multimythic dive into home, memory, and belonging--narrated by an obsessed girl who fought to become an artist so she could capture the world she loves in all its wild and delicate beauty"--Back cover. 600 10 $a Hudes, Quiara AlegriÌa. 650 0 $a Hispanic American women dramatists $v Biography. 650 0 $a Racially mixed people $z Philadelphia $z Philadelphia $v Biography. 650 0 $a Language and culture $z America. 651 0 $a Philadelphia (Pa.) $v Biography. 650 7 $a Hispanic American women dramatists. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00957501 650 7 $a Language and culture. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00992135 650 7 $a Racially mixed people. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01086595 651 7 $a America. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01239786 651 7 $a Pennsylvania $z Philadelphia. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204170 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919896 655 7 $a Autobiographies. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919894 655 7 $a Autobiographies. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Autobiographies. $2 rvmgf $0 (CaQQLa)RVMGF-000000520 941 $a 1 952 $l GZPE631 $d 20240305022449.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=20F46E203B3111EE9C757EDB24ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IW3Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
