520    "For generations, women of color have had to push against 
       powerful forces of sexism, racism, and classism in this 
       country, and too often, they have felt that they had to 
       face these challenges alone. Through her writing, her 
       activism, and through founding Latina Rebels, Prisca 
       Dorcas Mojica Rodríguez fought to create community to help
       women fight together. Now her new book For Brown Girls 
       with Sharp Edges and Tender Hearts offers wisdom and a 
       liberating path forward for all fellow Brown girls. Her 
       new book addresses a range of issues: How can Brown girls 
       survive, and thrive, in spaces that were never meant for 
       us? How do we feel pride when we're forced to code-switch?
       How can we deal with our own imposter syndrome? How do we 
       free ourselves from internalized racism, when it comes to 
       colorism within our communities? And what does it mean to 
       decolonize our worldview? Chapter by chapter, Mojica 
       Rodríguez not only defines these terms, she crafts 
       powerful new ways to address these challenges. She defies 
       "universal" white narratives by telling her own stories. 
       She gives readers access to the knowledge that changed her
       life and powered her activism. Too often Brown girls have 
       had to strive and climb and force themselves into 
       predominantly white spaces that were never built for them.
       Here Mojica Rodríguez crafts a love letter and a manifesto
       to Brown girls, guiding them toward women who have 
       innovated a sense of pride and sisterhood when the 
       dominant community has failed them. In the end, this 
       timely and urgent book energizes a movement with essential
       tools to help women speak up and make change. May it spark
       a fire within you."--|cProvided by publisher
