Quotes by Luz Schweig (?)

“The introspective Xicana voice has an internally generated, intuitive hermeneutic through which it asserts and understands itself...the lens through which Xicanas perceive reality is undeniably multifaceted, acknowledging the presence of diverse, individual Xicana experiences and expressions while simultaneously recognizing and
participating in the essential collective to which we all belong.”
― Luz Schweig, Somos Xicanas
