She was awed but haunted by the secrets of the family and 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 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"-- $c 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 0 $a Large type books. 655 7 $a Autobiographies. $2 lcgft 830 0 $a Thorndike Press large print biography series. 941 $a 3 945 $a lpt 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20231010030116.0 952 $l KWPE446 $d 20220108010646.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20211007010100.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=D7B5B3C6273311ECB840C5D347ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
