Between Women and Generations

ISBN: 1137098708

This book defies easy categorization but will be one of the most original, thoughtful, and genuinely interesting books published next year. Before the author's mother died, she asked her daughter, Drucilla, to write a book 'that would bear witness to the dignity of her death [and one that] her bridge class would be able to understand.' As if that wasn't difficult enough, Drucilla's mother, who had a degenerative disease, decided to end her life by ingesting a lethal cocktail of drugs. Drucilla was in the unenviable position of bearing witness to her mother's act. Unsentimental yet poignant, candid and courageous, this is the book that Drucilla promised her mother she'd write. Unlike her earlier academically-oriented books, Between Women and Generations is an intensely personal narrative which interweaves the personal and political decisions Drucilla's made throughout her life. She uses the personal as a springboard to talk about larger philosophical issues such as how one achieves dignity in life and in death, and the nature of intergenerational relationships between women. Drucilla speaks candidly of her relationship with her mother, about her decision to adopt a non-Western child, and about her commitment to UNITY, a cooperative of house cleaners in Long Island, New York. This book will resonate strongly with Western women.

Entre las décadas de los 30 y los 80 sucedieron hechos sociales y políticos en Nicaragua que para muchos son desconocidos y para otros inolvidables. Conexiones oscuras entre nacionales y extranjeros se dieron cita. Familias completas eran torturadas salvajemente hasta la muerte, sin juicio alguno, solo por el hecho de ser "sospechosos" o ser colaboradores de los Revolucionarios de Sandino. Los llantos eran escuchados más allá de las fronteras, tardías acciones quizás. Esta es la historia de una de ellas, de sus sobrevivientes... Aquí nuestra historia.
