<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"In this new edition of a book that's been a go-to guide for young Latinas for years, award-winning journalist Sandra Guzman tackles the real-world complications facing Latinas today. With warmth, humor, and wisdom, The New Latina's Bible explores a wide range of issues, touching on everything from family to dating to the workplace. Guzman offers helpful tips on improving self-esteem, and provides simple, easy-to-follow women's health advice. New chapters take on important topics like sexual abuse, domestic violence, interracial relationships, and LGBTQ issues. In The New Latina's Bible, Guzman shows other Latinas that they are not alone in the day-to-day dilemmas that they encounter, and that understanding these challenges can strengthen and empower them as women. A must-read for any Latina who faces the trials of living, loving, and dreaming in two worlds--the old world of their mam, t-as, and abuelitas, and the new world in which they are immersed--this comprehensive book helps to bridge the gap between the dual realities that shape and define the nueva Latina. "--Provided by publisher.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>For nearly a decade, <i>The Latina's Bible</i> has been the go-to guide for Latinas everywhere. In this updated and expanded edition, author Sandra Guzman continues to use her trademark warmth, humor, and wisdom to explore a wide range of topics, from dating and sexuality to family and career. <i>The New Latina's Bible</i> charts new territory, adding chapters that cover important issues such as sexual abuse, domestic and dating violence, interracial love, and gender identity. Guzman once again provides a hip, empowering, highly readable guide for women who are facing the trials and joys of living and loving as twenty-first century Latinas.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>Hip and chatty, with serious undertones, this 'bible' will be a valuable resource for young Latina women. Guzman tackles media image versus self-image up front; she rejects the bureaucratic term 'Hispanic' and celebrates the infinite variety of skin color, body shape, hair texture, regional dialect and national origin of today's Latinas as she shares personal anecdotes and advice on a wide range of modern conundrums...--<i><b>Publishers Weekly</b></i><br><br>Showing readers how to balance traditional values with new American ways, [Guzman] fills every page with interesting sidebars, including facts, statistics, short biographies, web sites, and bibliographies. Incorporated into the treatment of these issues are frank discussions of sexual abuse, gender inequality, and what it means to be homosexual in the Latin community. Few if any current titles embrace those concerns.--<i><b>Library Journal</b></i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Sandra Guzmán is an award-winning journalist and former editor-in-chief of <em>Latina</em> magazine, and a former associate editor at the <em>New York Post.</em> A writer and producer who has produced hundreds of stories for Fox Television's morning show <em>Good Day New York</em> and Telemundo, Guzmán won an Emmy for a half-hour special, "Embargo Contra Cuba," which aired on Telemundo's New York affiliate.
