This month's book is The Hispanic Condition by Ilan Stavans. This book is packed with great information for those who want an honest answer of what it means to be Hispanic living in the United States as well as Canada. The book is written in the format of telling a story that is based on essay style research. Quite a powerful read and very honest delivery of an inside perspective on the mindset of Hispanic Americans. With it's unapologetic approach to answering questions from other races and cultures living in, around or within the Hispanic Culture, this simple book delivers a powerful message as to the agenda and goals of most Hispanics living in America. The book is a refreshing change from the inundated writings so commonly found today as it does not beat around the bush but gets right to the heart of the matter with facts which some may dislike, are not easily disputable. I recommend this book to anyone who is not Hispanic yet works with, is related to or lives amongst Hispanics as it will give you a strong insight into the Hispanics mind and the making of this "condition". For those of us who are Hispanics living away from our culture, it helps to understand yourself and digest the questions we all ask about ourselves. It is both reaffirming and positive, a little bit boastful and most importantly written with the strength of conviction that states plainly it's message without watering it down with mixed messages excusing the topic at hand. Powerfully written and a first hand insiders report, The Hispanic Condition by Ilan Stavans should be read by everyone who is or deals with the Hispanic Community.

It is heavy reading so look for the movie review coming to you this week. Happy Reading!
