When Susie Fisher left the Amish church at age 20, she realized that being shunned was just the beginning and that culture shock was an equal-opportunity wench that impacted every aspect of her new life. How could she make the leap from schooling that had been cut off at age 14 to a college education? How could she cope with Corporate America, where she found conformity that felt eerily like what she had left behind? Could she survive the romantic entanglements that were the result of her unsophisticated choices? Worst of all, how could she have known that the very churches she had so looked...

Latin American Icons: Fame Across Borders
ISBN: 9780826519290 / Angielski / Twarda / 232 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

They become stereotypes as they go global, and the often melodramatic stories that cling to them give them a different sort of power than the one they had in their original contexts. Latin American Icons, from critics both in the United States and in Latin America,...
