From the author of For Brown Girls with Sharp Edges and Tender Hearts, a celebration of the women at the heart of Latine families

Born into a large, close-knit family in Nicaragua, Prisca Dorcas Mojica Rodríguez grew up surrounded by strong, kind, funny, sensitive, resilient, judgmental, messy, beautiful women. Whether blood relatives or chosen family, these tías and primas fundamentally shaped her view of the world—and so did the labels that were used to talk about them. The tía loca who is shunned for defying gender roles. The pretty prima put on a pedestal for her European features. The matriarch who is the core of her community but hides all her pain.

In Tías and Primas, the follow-up to her acclaimed debut For Brown Girls with Sharp Edges and Tender Hearts, Mojica Rodríguez explores these archetypes. Fearlessly grappling with the effects of intergenerational trauma, centuries of colonization, and sexism, she attempts to heal the pain that is so often embodied in female family lines.

Tías and Primas is a deeply felt love letter to family, community, and Latinas everywhere.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

This book was so good! Everyone has at least one of these tias or primas. Brought back so many memories of my own tias and thinking “I know exactly which of my Tias she is describing” lol.

So necesario! Must Read!

Enjoyed every second of this book. Moving, insightful, and reflected on how I’ve been most chapters/version of these tias/primas in my lifetime. I really enjoyed your wishes for the tia/prima in each chapter and encouraged how families should reframe their ways of thinking about each tia/prima. On to the authors next book….

Powerful and transcending

The way Prisca marries theory with praxis and reality provides a mirror for all Latines to reflect on the social, political, economic, and familial institutions which shape us. I felt seen, called out, and validated. A necessary piece of scholarship.

The book describes archetypes of women in Latine households. But this isn’t limited to just Latine communities- it can also be applied to cultures dominated by patriarchal power. Although that is a limited structure for women and girls, Prisca describes the archetypes with love and compassion.

Just as great as her first book! I liked learning through her eyes what the different Latine archetypes there can be.

I felt seen

I relate and I see it within my family. I am a prima and I am a tía. I’m multiple of the those written today.

A little of all of Us.

Prisca,
Gracias, for writing this book! It’s helped me better understand the beautiful family dynamics within our families. I now see even more clearly how each incredible person, each Tía and prima (and abuela), has played a special part in shaping who I am.
I feel truly seen and grateful for that.

I really didn't want to read this. Just by the cover I knew it would open up old wounds and some fresh ones. However when it was picked up by my book club I gave it a go. I'm so glad I did. This was a book I needed to heal.

Every Latina Should Read This

What a beautiful and honest book that describe the roles women in our families play. Trauma, celebrations, expectations…how they all influence the women we grow up to be.
