Goddess of the Americas

I just discovered this wonderful book. On my latest project I needed some more information on the Goddess Guadelupe. I found this wonderful book called Goddess of the Americas, which is actually an anthology of diverse writing by authors and their insights on She Whose Origins Were in the Rocky Summit. Some of the contributing authors include, Miriam Sagan, Clarissa Pinkola Estes, Sandra Cisneros, Luisah Teish and Luis J. Rodriguez. Many of the authors I have never read before and their writing is refreshing and powerful. Every issue is covered among the many short essays, including the origins, her impact in politics, icons of the Lady in popular culture and her impact on the lives and well-beings of those who honor Her. One lucky gem of a book for those interested in this black Goddess of the Americas. Many of the essays are intriguing, informative and really illuminates the beauty and complexity of this powerful icon.
