This manuscript offers fascinating and vivid details about Caribbean migrant women's writing. The main characters come from Spanish-, and English-speaking home-lands. Maria Cristina Rodriguez has analyzed a considerable amount of novels that focus on the energy and expectations involved in these personal and professional enterprises. She especially addresses the tensions between key issues such as the adaptation to the global cities and the memories from the Caribbean in past and present. This is certainly one of the broadest presentations of literature by Caribbean women who write about migrating from the Caribbean to the United States, Canada, and Europe. The author gives a vivid picture of the diversity of cultural encounters from the perspective of these female citizens in the effort to improve their professional and personal lifestyles.
