| Local Notes |
"Against the backdrop of the Cold War and civil rights eras, Living Color delivers the milestones of American girlhood--slumber parties, training bras, proms--through the eyes of 'brown, skinny, and bespectacled' Angie, who learns early that pageant winners, cheerleaders, and the Juliets in school plays are always white, and that big vocabularies are useless in navigating cliques and clubs. Living Color: Angie Rubio Stories traces Angie's formation as a writer, from the diffident, earnest child who jots down new words in a notebook to the emboldened high school student publishing unpopular opinions in her new 'loud-enough-to-be-heard' voice." -- Provided by publisher.
