The family of four shares their modest apartment with extended relatives in Harlem, where homesickness and nostalgia are dispelled by nights of dancing and raucous parties. But life's realities are nevertheless harsh in the Santinio family's adoptive land. When Mercedes takes Hector and his brother to visit Cuba, to better know her culture, Hector contracts a serious illness that leads to a terrifying period of hospitalizations back in the United States where, isolated from his family, he loses much of his ability to speack Spanish. And it is this fracturing that sparks a lifelong quest to not only reconcile his Cuban identity with his American one, but to also understand his parents' ambitions and anxieties within the country at large."-- $c back cover. 650 0 $a Cubans $z New York $z New York $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Cuban American families $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Cuban Americans $x Social life and customs $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Identity (Philosophical concept) $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Group identity $v Fiction. 651 0 $a New York (N.Y.) $x Social life and customs $v Fiction. 651 0 $a New York (N.Y.) $y 20th century $v Fiction. 650 6 $a Cubains $0 (CaQQLa)201-0377299 $z New York $0 (CaQQLa)201-0468217 $z New York $0 (CaQQLa)201-0468217 $v Romans, nouvelles, etc. $0 (CaQQLa)201-0377299 650 6 $a Familles ameÌricaines d'origine cubaine $0 (CaQQLa)201-0377299 $v Romans, nouvelles, etc. $0 (CaQQLa)201-0377299 650 6 $a AmeÌricains d'origine cubaine $0 (CaQQLa)201-0377299 $x MÅurs et coutumes $0 (CaQQLa)201-0379088 $v Romans, nouvelles, etc. $0 (CaQQLa)201-0377299 650 6 $a IdentiteÌ $0 (CaQQLa)201-0377299 $v Romans, nouvelles, etc. $0 (CaQQLa)201-0377299 650 6 $a IdentiteÌ collective $0 (CaQQLa)201-0377299 $v Romans, nouvelles, etc. $0 (CaQQLa)201-0377299 651 6 $a New York (N.Y.) $0 (CaQQLa)201-0377299 $x MÅurs et coutumes $0 (CaQQLa)201-0241983 $v Romans, nouvelles, etc. $0 (CaQQLa)201-0377299 655 7 $a Domestic fiction. $2 lcgft 700 1 $a DiÌaz, Junot, $d 1968- $e writer of foreword. 941 $a 1 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20240725010915.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=41A262564A4B11EFB3E903CE3AECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b JIUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
