Reviews
Written in Latina journalist Maria Hinojosa's honest, passionate voice, Once I Was You is, quite simply, beautiful., I've known and admired Maria for many years. She is truly an outstanding journalist. I loved reading Once I Was You: A Memoir of Love and Hate in a Torn America . It was so personal and moving, and told a very timely and critically important story for all Americans. I learned a lot about Maria, but more importantly, I learned a lot about what's going on in so many parts of our country. Thanks, Maria, for writing this powerful book., Maria Hinojosa is hands down one of the most important, respected, and beloved cultural leaders in the Latinx community. . . . Hers is a voice we need to hear at this moment in our country!, Maria's perspective is powerful and vital. Years ago, when In the Heights was just starting off-Broadway, Maria got the word out to our community to support this new musical about our neighborhoods. She has been a champion of our triumphs, a critic of our detractors, and a driving force to right the wrongs our society faces. When Maria speaks, I'm ready to listen and learn., Once I Was You throws down, proving that Maria Hinojosa is beyond bad assery: esta mujer es una chingona to be reckoned with. In warm, journalistic prose, Hinojosa unfurls a map of una vida extraordinaria that shows her developing, nurturing, and sustaining a career best described as iconoclastic. Her skills as a writer and reporter enable her to trace the ugly contours of US racial politics as she simultaneously narrates a compulsively readable autobiography. Quedé inspirada and perhaps you will too., Maria Hinojosa writes about her life, her family, and her immigrant story in ways that will inspire you and break your heart--because that is what the immigration story is in America: part inspiration, hope, and triumph; part rejection, struggle, and heartbreak. Maria's voice rings loud and clear, and her battle cry for America's immigrants of color is both poignant and necessary., Once I Was You is many books in one, a searingly honest memoir by one of this country's most accomplished women, an inside view of the media, and a fact-filled indictment of our treatment of immigrants over time. Because Maria Hinojosa identifies with each one, anyone striving to understand and improve this country should read her story of what's wrong and how to change it., I loved this heart wrenching, yet ultimately hopeful, book. Maria Hinojosa's Once I Was You puts you in the shoes of frightened immigrant children while laying out a path from fear to success. A guide to joy and empowerment--even in the hard-knock business of journalism--this story is a must-read for anyone who ever wondered how an immigrant could possibly love an America that has always undervalued newcomers., I've known and admired Maria for many years. She is truly an outstanding journalist. I loved reading Once I Was You . It was so personal and moving, and told a very timely and critically important story for all Americans. I learned a lot about Maria, but more importantly, I learned a lot about what's going on in so many parts of our country. Thanks, Maria, for writing this powerful book., Once I Was You is a testament to what great journalism can do--leverage privilege and power to tell the stories of those who are voiceless . . . Hinojosa's book serves as a clarion call for us to re-examine where we stand as individuals and as a nation., In these times of love and hate, Maria Hinojosa's astonishing story is medicine, healing, illumination. She swallows fear as if she were a circus performer swallowing fire. She encourages, inspires, and challenges us to find our own courage. Once I Was You is a dazzling gift she has bestowed upon us and America., She beautifully renders stories of her personal life while weaving in the important historical context of immigration and policy during her lifetime . . . bringing her signature candor and knack for storytelling., Once I Was You is a candid, timely, autobiography . . . intimate and unflinching, this memoir is packed with teachable moments., As a POC journalist, feminist, survivor of sexual assault, and truth-teller, Maria Hinojosa is tough as nails. This expressive and captivating book not only reveals how she has fought to tell stories that are so often silenced by the mainstream media, but also lays bare the deep fissures in our politics and our society. Once I Was You is essential reading for anyone who wants America to do better.
