Collecting the perspectives of scholars who reflect on their own relationships to particular garments, analyze the politics of dress, and examine the role of consumerism and entrepreneurialism in the production of creating and selling a style, meXicana Fashions examines and searches for meaning in these visible, performative aspects of identity. Focusing primarily on Chicanas but also considering trends connected to other Latin American communities, the authors highlight specific constituencies that are defined by region (“Tejana style,” “L.A. style”), age group (“homie,” “chola”), and social class (marked by haute couture labels such as Carolina Herrera and Oscar de la Renta). The essays acknowledge the complex layers of these styles, which are not mutually exclusive but instead reflect a range of intersections in occupation, origin, personality, sexuality, and fads. Other elements include urban indigenous fashion shows, the shifting quinceañera market, “walking altars” on the Days of the Dead, plus-size clothing, huipiles in the workplace, and dressing in drag. Together, these chapters illuminate the full array of messages woven into a vibrant social fabric.

Having doubts about your next step? Ask yourself what artist Frida Kahlo would do in this “beautiful volume . . . sure to inspire” (Boston Globe). NAMED A BEST GIFT BOOK OF THE YEAR BY: Instyle, Oprah Daily, Business Insider, Esquire, Boston Globe, and Redbook Revered as much for her fierce spirit as she is for her art, Frida Kahlo stands today as a feminist symbol of daring creativity. Her paintings have earned her admirers around the world, but perhaps her greatest work of art was her own life. What Would Frida Do? celebrates this icon’s signature style, outspoken politics, and boldness in love and art—even in the face of hardship and heartbreak. We see her tumultuous marriage with the famous muralist Diego Rivera and rumored flings with Leon Trotsky and Josephine Baker. In this irresistible read, writer Arianna Davis conjures Frida’s brave spirit, encouraging women to create fearlessly and stand by their own truths.

Excerpt from Deutsches Echo: The German Echo, or Dialogues to Teach German Conversation; With an Adequate Vocabulary Work Which shall enable them to learn here at home the con versational language of. Germany. This the Eono, in the main a reprint of the german Eono by Wolfram, aims to supply. It is designed to furnish the learner with an exten sive vocabulary of words and expressions in common use; to free him from the embarrassments Which the peculiarities of his own tongue are likely to be to 'him; to make him thoroughly familiar with the use of proper idioms in short, to provide him With the material for intelligent, cor rect and varied conversation, andato enable the learner also to understand the language as spoken, one of the greatest difficulties to be encountered in the practical use of a foreign language. The method here adopted differs greatly from that generally developed in the conversational books. Itteaches the learner not to translate his thoughts but to think in the language which he is to speak. He is carried, as it were, into the very midst of the scenes of actual life, and is taught to sustain his share in the interchange of social talk. -at the same time, he learns much of the manners and customs of the country whose language he is seeking to mas ter, and is thus not only enlarging his familiarity with the lan guage, but also with the people themselves. As to the most advantageous use of the book, we can do no better than give the motto which Prendergast has adopted for his mastery seriesz. Gutta cavat lapidem non vi sed scrape cadendo (the drop hollows the stone, not by force, but by the frequency of its fall).
