DEI Book Study

The DEI Committee is inviting you to join them on ZOOM for a professional learning opportunity with a book study of The House on Mango Street. 

The House on Mango Street by Sandra Cisneros is a coming-of-age novel told in vignettes, which are short, interconnected prose poems. The story follows a young Latina girl named Esperanza Cordero who grows up in the Hispanic quarter of Chicago. Throughout the novel, Esperanza reflects on her life in the house on Mango Street and her dreams of escaping her impoverished neighborhood. The book explores themes of identity, culture, community, and the challenges faced by young girls growing up in marginalized environments. Esperanza's journey of self-discovery and her observations of the people around her paint a vivid picture of life in the barrio and the complexities of growing up as a Latina in America.
