Soñando: Thoughts of a Young Latino Edwin Lopez Spanish edition

Have you ever tried to understand who you are and how others view you? These are questions we must learn to live in during these times of change. The Latin American culture has volumes to speak to all people, no matter what ethnicity you were born into. It is inevitable that we delve into self-exploration. We do this to ultimately gain a better understanding of each other. These writings drip with the effort to encourage a greater understanding... both of oneself, each other, and things greater than ourselves. Powerful work. Wonderful! AybarLpez gives an insightful look into a young Latin American life, exposing its hopes, frustrations- and its dreams. The essays deal with social issues concerning young people in an educational, critical, and sometimes humorous way. The honesty of the English and Spanish poetry is refreshing and beautiful in the subtlety of its expression, and the essays on music end with a strong challenge for more social concern in our societies. In Soando, "Dreaming", AybarLpez shows in a vivid way the struggles, joys, and particularities of living in the edge of two cultures. A must read for anyone who wants to know more about the reality of multiculturalism.
