8 Must-Read Books by Latinx Authors

Stories about immigration might sound familiar and similar to many, but each one of them carries a uniqueness to it, and they are also permeated by the time when they happen. In Dominicana ($19), Angie Cruz makes us travel in time to the 1960s, when Ana Canción marries a man twice her age because it is an opportunity for her to immigrate to New York from the Dominican Republic. In this novel, we go through her life and experience as an immigrant in the '60s and how she fights to have a place and a voice in an unknown land.
