"Not only excellent but timely as well. The book will undoubtedly prove to be a valuable resource guide that will not only introduce the literature but also provide an impressive study for experts in Latina cultural studies."--Alvina E. Quintana, author of Home Girls: Chicana Literary Voices "Teresa Delgadillo and her collaborators create a living archive that highlights the rich and varied experiences, histories, and cultures of a Midwestern Latino community. This book provides the personal stories often absent from required course reading lists, while at the same time demonstrating the importance of region in shaping identity and the immigrant experience."--Natalia Molina, author of How Race Is Made in America: Immigration, Citizenship, and the Historical Power of Racial Scripts "Delgadillo's Latinas in Milwaukee. . . is a text that provokes many important questions that must be considered in the advancement of Latino studies."--Latino Studies "This book is, indeed, an important contribution to the study of Latinas in the Midwest."--H-LatAm "Delgadillo effectively illustrates both how women's roles were actually far from what many believed them to be and the importance of the Midwest in the production of a (pan)-Latinx identity."--American Quarterly "Latina Lives in Milwaukee can serve as a model for scholars interested in Latinas and education, inspiring them to enhance their research with oral history interviews. . . . Delgadillo has provided future scholars an invaluable resource to expand their own projects." --Oral History Review
