Covering The Coverage: A “Feminist Warrior” Reviews Once Upon A Quince
15 August 2007, 9:00 AM. By Cindy Casares
New York Daily News reporter and self-professed veteran of “old feminist and minority-empowering wars”, Dolores Prida has picked up on one of our favorite trends–the Super Sweet Quinceañera–from a book called Once Upon A Quinceañera-Coming Of Age In The USA. With the book’s reports of families taking out second mortgages to spend as much as $80,000 on a party for their princess, Prida is in the midst of an emotional crisis:
Perhaps it was unavoidable that in a conspicuous consumption society, immigrant Latino parents live their American Dreams through their children, and give them a quince fiesta their own parents couldn’t afford to give them.
I find this all quite disappointing. And painful.
We find blaming MTV helps.
