Mama Fela's Girls

The author's flowing and engaging writing lends a unique historical perspective to the socio-cultural factors of one segment of our society. The setting is that of the Great Depression era, a time in history that continues to exert its influence. The book brings to life, with admirable attention to historical detail, the characters' adaptive responses (both positive and negative) to trying circumstances. The parallels between that point in time and the challenges facing us today make this work especially relevant. I recommend this book to both history buffs and students of the dynamics between historical events and socio-cultural unfolding.

This is a superb book that covers issues of daily living and struggles of the Hispanic Educator in the 30's and 40's in New Mexico. It is a book that all adults and youth should read if they truly want to understand the culture of the Extended Hispanic Family. I laughed and cried throughout the entire reading of this book. It truly touches the experience of many Hispanic Male and Female alike in their efforts toward racial equality in life and education.A superb job by Ana Baca the author. Let's have a sequal!
