cherríe moraga is truly a genius in queer chicana feminist thought and it was such a pleasure to get to read her memoir. i can’t even tell you the amount of times i cried while reading this. it’s about alzheimers, the fuerza + strain of latinidad in the US, losing personal and cultural memory, and the experience of being a lesbian daughter. so heart-wrenching and honest. it was exactly the story i needed.
