Media reviews

"Esmeralda Santiago describe su niñez . . . con una prosa poética [que] nos regresa a nuestros propios días de inocencia. El tono cautivador y humano del libro acentúa nuestras propias inquietantes y estimulantes experiencias infantiles."
La Revista Hispanic

"Estilísticamente fluida y finamente detallada . . . la autobiografía de Santiago casi cinemáticamente reproduce su pasado y la cultura de su isla. Lo más atrayente de la historia de Santiago es la revelación que ofrece a los lectores que no conozcan el dilema  vivido por todo puertorriqueño: la identidad en conflicto. ¿Es negra o blanca? ¿Es del campo o de la ciudad? Y más importante aún, ¿es puertorriqueña o norteamericana? El lector se sentirá agradecido de que Esmeralda Santiago se decidiera a explorar su cultura y a compartir lo que halló."
Los Angeles Times Book Review

"Cuando era puertorriqueña es la agridulce historia de una muchacha atrapada entre dos culturas . . . [está] llena de anécdotas sobre su desarrollo hacia la adultez y de dulces memorias acerca de su familia. Hermanos, hermanas, tías y tíos están deliciosamente entretejidos en la textura del libro."
The Boston Globe

"Continuando en la tradición de A Tree Grows in Brooklyn y Call It Sleep, Cuando era puertorriqueñas de Esmeralda Santiago, cuenta la historia de la inmigración norteamericana, esta vez con un sabor especial latino. Santiago ha enviado al mundo un paquete sobre sus viajes, [y] su documental es ahora nuestro regalo."
Washington Post Book World

"Una conmovedora narrativa, líricamente escrita. Esmeralda Santiago generosamente comparte con el lector las memorias de su niñez en Puerto Rico y de sus desconcertantes años en la ciudad de Nueva York. Admiro el valor que requirió el hacer ese viaje —y después escribir acerca de ello con tanta claridad. Su perspectiva sobre el pasado es siempre afectuosa, llena de espíritu y realística. El paisaje puertorriqueño está vivo en este libro lleno de ricos y evocadores detalles."
—Bobbie Ann Mason, autora de Feather Crowns

"Lea su libro . . . Verá cómo la trayectoria particular de una mujer desde una choza de metal ondeado en un barrio del campo puertorriqueño se convierte en una historia llena de ecos para todos aquellos que alguna vez en sus vidas hayan embarcado en
un viaje transformador, física o espiritualmente."
San Juan Star

********

"Santiago's autobiographical account cinematically recaptures her past and her island culture. What is particularly appealing about Santiago's story is the insight it offers to readers unaware of the double bind Puerto Rican Americans find themselves in: the identity in conflict. Is [she] black or white? Is she rural or urban? Even more importantly, is she Puerto Rican or is she American? [One] can only be grateful that Esmeralda Santiago has chosen to explore her culture and share what she has found."--The Los Angeles Times Book Review
