The Resource Cisneros, Sandra

Description: Sandra Cisneros's fiction appeals to adults and teens, Hispanic and non-Hispanic, male and female. A dominant theme is the challenge of assimilation into a new culture without abandoning traditions from the old. This involves female empowerment in the male-dominated Latino culture as well as relationships between the generations. In her poetic, though spare and simple, style, the rich casts of characters enact thought-provoking stories leavened here and there by a humorous touch. Start with: The House on Mango Street
