"Assimilation"

SXSW 2023 looks pretty good with Latinx representation, covering religion, sisterhood, cultural assimilation, and Flamin’ Hot Cheetos!

In “You Sound Like a White Girl: The Case for Rejecting Assimilation,” author Julissa Arce argues that rather than seeking approval from white culture, we should embrace our own identities and help change the narrative that there is only one way to be American. 

So, what are the books that are going to help us feel seen and represented, fill our days with wonderful narratives, and teach us a thing or two in 2022? We did the research, and found five books, penned by Latinas, that you’ll definitely want to pick up this new year.
