8 Memoirs from Latine and Hispanic Authors
In honor of Latine and Hispanic Heritage Month, we’re listening to unforgettable memoirs penned by Latine and Hispanic authors.
There’s nothing like hearing about someone’s life in their own words: it reminds us that everyone’s experiences are unique, and everyone has a story worth telling. Finding Mañana follows prizewinning journalist Mirta Ojito’s departure from Cuba in the Mariel boatlift. Ingrid Rojas Contreras’s The Man Who Could Move Clouds is a dazzling tale of one family’s lineage, Colombian history, and otherworldly magic. And In Magical/Realism, Vanessa Angélica Villarreal blurs the line between cultural criticism and memoir by delving in to the American pop culture that has helped her reconstruct her story.
Press play, and lose yourself in these memoirs that are as unique as the people that wrote them.
