The Buenavida America by Jose N Uranga

The Buenavida America by Jose N Uranga

The Buenavida America continues to follow The Buenavida Dilemma and The Death of the Brown Americano by describing the trials and successes of the Buenavida family from 1900 to the present in New Mexico and the southwest in general. A central theme of the book is whether Hispanics must necessarily sacrifice their language and culture in order to fully assimilate and be successful in the U.S. society.

Praise for The Buenavida America

?Generational novels have that rare gift of granting the reader insights into one's own past and future. Jos Uranga performs that task exceedingly well, adding the pleasant placement of the Buenavidas into meaningful historical context.?
?Paul A. Garc a, Ph.D, University of Kansas, School of Education, retired

?Sharing a life story is not as easy as just telling a story. Jos Uranga does this with historical references and background that intrigue and educate.?

?Jos Uranga does a fine job providing important food for thought in The Buenavida America and his book highlights poignant cultural threads imbedded in the history of New Mexico. The fictional yet historical based ?testimonios? illustrated by the Buenavida family shed light on the complexities, challenges, and victories Hispanics experience while traversing identity in present day America.?
