As Moraga charts her mother's journey from impressionable young girl to battle-tested matriarch to, later on, an old woman suffering under the yoke of Alzheimer, she traces her own self-discovery of her gender-queer body and Lesbian identity, as well as her passion for activism and the history of her pueblo. As her mother's memory fails, Moraga is driven to unearth forgotten remnants of a U.S. Mexican diaspora, its indigenous origins, and an American story of cultural loss."--Amazon.com. 600 10 $a Moraga, CherriÌe $x Family. 600 17 $a Moraga, CherriÌe. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00082743 650 0 $a Mexican American women authors $v Biography. 650 7 $a Families. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01728849 650 7 $a Mexican American women authors. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01200836 650 7 $a BIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHY / Personal Memoirs. $2 bisacsh 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Biography. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423686 941 $a 3 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231018011010.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20230302020158.0 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20200529014937.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=85730C266CA011E9A39CB90697128E48 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
