In the Land of God and Man: A Latin Woman's Journey

Silvana Paternostro

4.1/5 ( ratings)

As the daughter of the privileged Colombian elite, Silvana Paternostro was programmed to go from convent school to cocktail parties, obedient to God and man, never questioning the injustice she saw all around her or demanding a voice in public life. She left Latin America twenty years ago, but recently returned to look critically at our Church, our Constitution, our daily lives. Told in a lyrical and personal voice, but backed up by solid research, In the Land of God and Man draws a new map of Latin and Latino America -- from Quito, Ecuador to Queens, New York -- exposing its hidden cultural undercurrents and bringing women out of the factories and favelas, the brothels and the boardrooms, and allowing them to tell their own stories.
