When I Was Puerto Rican

Reviews
The Los Angeles Times Sunday Book Review, Susan Salter
Reynolds. Unlike Frank McCourt's childhood memoir of poverty, Santiago's
(though not as darkly humorous as McCourt's) does not inspire pity; it
has richness and color and love and, when life is suffocating, Santiago
gets out in the world and finds some new thing to lead her forward.

From Booklist , August 19, 1998
The broad outlines of Santiago's life story, begun in When I Was
Puerto Rican (1993) and continued here, are familiar; indeed, they
limn the quintessential American experience--that of a stranger in a
strange land. Santiago, writing prose as notable for its poise and
directness as for its sharp detail, picks up where she left off, with her
arrival at age 13 in Brooklyn, New York, and chronicles her struggle not
only to learn a new language and adjust to a far more diverse and
divisive society but also to cope with all the confusion of puberty. The
eldest in a family that grew to include 11 children, Santiago was as
close as an independent-minded daughter can be to a strict mother,
and her Mami emerges as a contradictory yet compelling and
admirable figure. Their complex relationship is the fulcrum of
Santiago's balancing act between life in their brimming barrio apartment
and life in the wider world, where she discovers the joy and frustrations
of artistic pursuits and the puzzlements of love. Donna Seaman
