About the Book

From the moment Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez beat a ten-term incumbent in the primary election for New York's 14th on June 26, 2018, her journey to the national, if not world, stage, was fast-tracked. Six months later, as the youngest Congresswoman ever elected, AOC became one of a handful of Latina politicians in Washington, D.C. Just thirty, she represents her generation, the millennials, in many groundbreaking ways: proudly working class, Democratic Socialist, of Puerto Rican descent, master of social media, not to mention of the Bronx, feminist-and a great dancer. AOC investigates her symbolic and personal significance for so many, from her willingness to use her imperfect bi-lingualism, to the threat she poses by governing like a man, to the long history of Puerto Rican activism that she joins; to the simple power of dressing Latina in hoops and red lipstick. Contributors span a wide range of voices and ages, from media to the arts and politics; they include Lynda Lopez, Jennine Capo Crucet, Andrea Gonzalez-Ramirez, Patricia Reynoso, Pedro Regalado, Natalia Sylvester, Rebecca Traister, Carmen Rita Wong, Tracey Ross, Erin Aubry Kaplan, Mariana Atencio, Wendy Carrillo, Nathan J. Robinson, Maria Cristina González Noguera, Elizabeth C. Yeampierre, and Maria Cristina "MC" Gonzalez Noguera.

Review :

"AOC is a force to be reckoned with, and her story is one that will leave you inspired." --Kami Phillips, CNN

"As the book's editor, Lopez has collected smart, briskly written and often inspiring essays about the Bronx-born Boricua phenom." --The Washington Post

"Urgent and timely... holds power by demonstrating the path that AOC has carved for so many of us who rarely saw ourselves in the leaders around us growing up...I recommend this book to anyone feeling downtrodden or weary with the state of the world." --Medium

"This anthology of essays explores everything about the living legend Alexandia Ocasio-Cortez--from her symbolic significance as a political figure to her contributions to a history of Puerto Rican activism." --Cosmo

"This book dives deep into [AOC's] background, image, and ideas, and comes up with important insights." --Library Journal

"These essays not only emphasise what an important figure she is, but just how important it is to continue to follow her journey. Please read this book, especially if you want to understand why AOC is so relevant and meaningful to the communities she's a champion for." --The Nerd Daily

"[N]ovelist Natalia Sylvester looks at Ocasio-Cortez in perhaps the most relatable light of them all: As a Latinx person navigating her relationship to the Spanish language." --Oprah Magazine

    A Thrilling But Totally Believable Murder Mystery

    Read this in one evening. I had planned to do other things with my day, but it was impossible to put down. Every time I tried, I was drawn back to it in less than 5 minutes. I sobbed my eyes out the entire last 100 pages. Highly recommend!
