Esmeralda Santiago's memoir

Evaluate the memoir and explain its historical context (who wrote it, when, where, and why); it should briefly summarize the
content of the memoir (not more than 25% of the paper); and it should analyze the document’s importance in
Latin American history. You might want to compare the memoir to documents in the LAV reader (Born in Blood
& Fire: Latin American Voices Reader by John Charles Chasteen) as well as information gathered from the
main Text and other researched data.
