Award-winning journalist Natasha S. Alford grew up between two worlds as the daughter of an African American father and Puerto Rican mother. In American Negra, a narrative that is part memoir, part cultural analysis, Alford reflects on growing up in a working-class family from the city of Syracuse, NY. In smart, vivid prose, Alford illustrates the complexity of being multiethnic in Upstate New York and society’s flawed teachings about matters of identity.

I never learned Spanish. My family was the only Puerto Rican family in the neighborhood and my mother and her siblings were punished for speaking their native tongue. So the next generation was not taught Spanish. I can truly relate to the uncomfortable feeling of explaining why I don't know Spanish and the look of a lower being for not knowing. After reading Natasha's journey of dealing with it I don't feel so alone. I feel I have new methods to deal with the "look". I am buying extra books to give to my family and teachers. I absolutely love this book and will be reading again. I need to grab every name and book reference!

From the outside, Elena Vega’s life appears to be an easy one: the only child of two professional parents, private school, NYU. But her twenties are aimless and lacking in connection. Something has always been amiss in her life: her father, the brilliant but deeply troubled Santiago Vega. Born in rural Puerto Rico, Santiago arrived in New York as a small child. His harsh, mercurial father returned to the island, leaving Santiago to be raised by his mentally ill mother and his formidable grandmother.

I have never read a book like this but I begin to relate to many things she was asking herself. What you go through as being the only brown person. Questioning how Puerto Rican are you. She came out the other end stronger but lived with alot of self doubt. I really enjoyed learning the island and the history. I have recommended to everyone in my family.
