Book Review: Goddess of the Americas by Ana Castillo – Lisa Alvarado
Tagged: blog, book, HIVPosted on: May 7th, 2007“Goddess of the Americas is a brilliant collection celebrating the love of and devotion to the enduring influence of the Virgin of Guadalupe. Castillo includes male and female writers, agnostics, traditional Catholics, feminists, and Santeras in this eclectic homage. This anthology contains essays, memoir, poetry and rhetoric celebrating a complicated relationship with a folk deity ”” one that is much much more than the European and traditionally Catholic conception. This is a deity that is full-bodied, sensual, actively involved in the thrum and pulse of daily living, the unraveling and reclamation of the world.”
