She gave herself permission to return--to relearn the Spanish that she had forgotten, unpack her family's history, and begin to make her own way. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Alternately honest, funny, and visceral, this powerful collection follows De Leon as she comes of age as a Guatemalan-American woman and learns to navigate the space between two worlds. Never rich or white enough for her posh college, she finds herself equally adrift in her first weeks in her parents' home country. During the years to follow, she would return to Guatemala again and again, meet ex-guerrillera and genocide survivors, get married in the old cobblestoned capital of Antigua, and teach her newborn son about his roots.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"University of Massachusetts Press","offers":[{"title":"White Space: Essays on Culture, Race, \u0026 Writing | Jennifer de Leon | Paperback | 9781625345677 | Used: Very Good | Essays 1551228","offer_id":50575818359042,"sku":"1551228","price":21.04,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/3327\/5906\/files\/61O4r9jecLL.jpg?v=1790896173","url":"https:\/\/boswellsbooks.com\/products\/white-space-essays-on-culture-race-writing","provider":"Boswell's Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
