Descripción
Sumario:Looking beyond the satin gowns, opera-length gloves, and sparkling tiaras that signify Filipino debutantes and Mexican quinceañeras, the author examines the meaning of these coming-of-age rituals for immigrant American families. This book draws parallels between these communal ceremonies, as they share a commonality in Spanish heritage and Catholicism in a highly-ritualized celebration. The author analyses these rites and festivities to explain what they reveal about the individuals, families, and communities who organize and participate in them.
