Description:Dr. Angela Reyes-Carrasquillo’s book presents a repertoire of personal, professional, and educational stories of distinguished professional Latinas living, learning and working in two languages and two cultures in academia today. The author’s own childhood and high school years are filled with struggles, challenges and family expectations, which set the stage for her professorial journey, especially within communities of opposition. Through an historical, cultural, linguistic lens, as well as through the creativity of her poetry, she recounts her academic life as a teacher and college professor with the intent of motivating Latinos, especially Latina professors, to continue la lucha, con ganas (the struggle, with passion), and never to accept “no” for an answer. In presenting the profiles of 13 influential Puerto Rican professors, Dr. Reyes-Carrasquillo recognizes that there are significant numbers of Latina professors who are not only successful professionals in their fields, but powerful voices in the United States and throughout the world for understanding the complexities of bilingualism, culture, multiculturalism, and family literacy. In addition, the book serves as a motivational tool for adolescents, especially Latinas to reflect on who they are, and to take on the challenges involved in becoming a successful academic of color, and to work hard and stay focused toward achieving their goals and aspirations—because they will discover that, ¡Nada es imposible!Aramina Ferrer, PhD, Associate Professor and Chair, Department of Literacy and Multicultural Studies, Mercy College, Dobbs Ferry, New YorkAngela Reyes-Carrasquillo has already made her mark as a distinguished professor, scholar, teacher and leader. This important work chronicles the journey of Reyes-Carrasquillo and other renowned Latinas through academia and demonstrates the impact they continue to have on a new generation of educators and thought leaders nationally and globally.
