{"product_id":"hispanas-de-queens-milagros-ricourt-9780801440458","title":"Hispanas de Queens","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhat happens when persons of several Latin American national groups reside in the same neighborhood-- Milagros Ricourt and Ruby Danta consider the stories of women of different nationalities--Colombian, Cuban, Dominican, Ecuadorian, Peruvian, Puerto Rican, Uruguayan, and others--who live together in Corona, a working-class neighborhood in Queens. Corona has long been an arrival point for immigrants and is now made up predominantly of Spanish-speaking immigrants from the Caribbean and South and Central America, with smaller numbers from Asia, Africa, and Europe. There are also long-established populations of white Americans, mainly of Italian origin, and African Americans.The authors find that the new pan-Latin American community in Corona has emerged from the interactions of everyday living. Hispanas de Queens focuses on the places where women gather in Corona--bodegas, hospitals, schoolyards, and Roman Catholic and Protestant churches--to show how informal alliances arise from proximity.Ricourt and Danta document how a group of leaders, mainly women, consciously promoted this strong sense of community to build panethnic organizations and a Latino political voice. Hispanas de Queens shows how a new group identity--Hispanic or Latino--is formed without replacing an individual's identification as an immigrant from a particular country. Instead, an additional identity is created and can be mobilized by pan-Latino leaders and organizations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Milagros Ricourt,Ruby Danta\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0801440459\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780801440458\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cornell University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/16\/2002\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.86lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.35h x 6.24w x 0.73d","brand":"Milagros Ricourt","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47425064304895,"sku":"9780801440458","price":145.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d3f6f71d-f03e-40aa-bca0-d8bd284a6f27.jpg?v=1761536763","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/hispanas-de-queens-milagros-ricourt-9780801440458","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
