The Latina’s Bible: The Nueva Latina’s Guide to Love, Sex, Spirituality & La Vida

According Publishers Weekly, “the Latina Bible is Hip and chatty, with serious undertones. This “bible” will be a valuable resource for young Latina women. A Puerto Rican-born journalist and former editor-in-chief of Latina magazine, Guzman tackles media image versus self-image up front; she rejects the bureaucratic term Hispanic and celebrates the infinite variety of skin color, body shapes, hair texture regional dialects and national origins of today’s Latinas as she shares personal anecdotes and advice on a wide range of modern conundrums, from dating a non-Latino man to combating workplace discrimination. Much of the book focuses on familial and especially romantic relations with Spanglish-inflected guidance on dating, marriage, and Latino sexual mystique, There are also chapters on health, careers and spirituality and a strong emphasis throughout on professional networking and mentoring of young girls”.
