"An extremely bold and practical guide for transforming the Latino
family. Abalos takes us on a journey where we discover the
personal, political, historical, and sacred faces of the Latino
family, and his work compels us to apply transformation theory to
our own personal lives and relationships. This is required reading
for scholars and community members who seek to understand the
politics of the contemporary Latino family in the United
States."-Alberto L. Pulido Assistant Professor American and
Community Studies Arizona State University
"David Abalos has written a scholarly and passionate book which
utilizes the transformations of the Latino family as a heartfelt
call for American families to create better relationships. Abalos
teaches and inspires. Wonderful work."-David Carrasco Department of
Religion Princeton University
"David Abalos presents a critical analysis of the underlying causes
of the travails of the Latino family. He not only helps us to
understand the costs of remaining enchanted and enchained by the
inherited personal, political, historical and sacred faces of being
Latino and Latina, Abalos also makes a major contribution to the
theory and practice of transforming our being--whoever we
are."-Manfred Halpern Department of Politics Princeton
University
?The book is refreshing; Abalos seeks solutions for old problems in
a new and creative manner, one that specifically calls for a
profound and transforming spiritual journey. Strongly recommended
for upper-division undergraduates and graduate students in the
helping professions, and for general readers interested in personal
and spiritual transformation.?-Choice
