Inventing Latinos: A New Story of American Racism<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

By Laura E. G\u00f3mez<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Latinos will comprise a third of the American population in just a matter of decades, but many Americans still struggle with two basic questions: Who are Latinos, and where do they fit in America’s racial order? In this timely and important examination of Latinx identity Laura E. G\u00f3mez, a leading critical-race scholar, argues that it is only recently that Mexican Americans, Puerto Ricans, Cubans, Dominicans, Central Americans, and others are seeing themselves (and being seen by others) under the banner of a cohesive racial<\/em> identity. And the catalyst for this emergent identity, she argues, has been the ferocity of anti-Latino racism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By Silvia Moreno-Garcia<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A lavish historical drama reimagining of The Island of Doctor Moreau<\/em> set against the backdrop of nineteenth-century Mexico.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Carlota Moreau: a young woman, growing up in a distant and luxuriant estate, safe from the conflict and strife of the Yucat\u00e1n peninsula. The only daughter of either a genius, or a madman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Montgomery Laughton: a melancholic overseer with a tragic past and a propensity for alcohol. An outcast who assists Dr. Moreau with his scientific experiments, which are financed by the Lizaldes, owners of magnificent haciendas and plentiful coffers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The hybrids: the fruits of the Doctor\u2019s labor, destined to blindly obey their creator and remain in the shadows. A motley group of part human, part animal monstrosities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All of them living in a perfectly balanced and static world, which is jolted by the abrupt arrival of Eduardo Lizalde, the charming and careless son of Doctor Moreau\u2019s patron, who will unwittingly begin a dangerous chain reaction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For Moreau keeps secrets, Carlota has questions, and in the sweltering heat of the jungle, passions may ignite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Daughter of Doctor Moreau is both a dazzling historical novel and a daring science fiction journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Ag\u00fcero Sisters<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

By Cristina Garc\u00eda<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reina and Constancia Ag\u00fcero are Cuban sisters who have been estranged for thirty years. Reina–tall, darkly beautiful, and magnetically sexual–still lives in her homeland. Once a devoted daughter of la revoluci\u00f3n, she now basks in the glow of her many admiring suitors, believing only in what she can grasp with her five senses.

Never Look Back<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

By Lilliam Rivera<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eury comes to the Bronx as a girl haunted. Haunted by losing everything in Hurricane Maria–and by an evil spirit, Ato. She fully expects the tragedy that befell her and her family in Puerto Rico to catch up with her in New York. Yet, for a time, she can almost set this fear aside, because there’s this boy . . .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pheus is a golden-voiced, bachata-singing charmer, ready to spend the summer on the beach with his friends, serenading his on-again, off-again flame. That changes when he meets Eury. All he wants is to put a smile on her face and fight off her demons. But some dangers are too powerful for even the strongest love, and as the world threatens to tear them apart, Eury and Pheus must fight for each other and their lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Featuring contemporary Afro-Latinx characters, this retelling of the Greek myth Orpheus and Eurydice is perfect for fans of Ibi Zoboi’s Pride <\/em>and Daniel Jos\u00e9 Older’s Shadowshaper.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just Ask!: Be Different, Be Brave, Be You<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

By Sonia Sotomayor<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Feeling different, especially as a kid, can be tough. But in the same way that different types of plants and flowers make a garden more beautiful and enjoyable, different types of people make our world more vibrant and wonderful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Just Ask<\/em>, United States Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor celebrates the different abilities kids (and people of all ages) have. Using her own experience as a child who was diagnosed with diabetes, Justice Sotomayor writes about children with all sorts of challenges\u2014and looks at the special powers those kids have as well. As the kids work together to build a community garden, asking questions of each other along the way, this book encourages readers to do the same: When we come across someone who is different from us but we’re not sure why, all we have to do is Just Ask<\/em>.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
