Premio Dolores Huerta (Premios Internacionales del Libro Latino)

Selección Nacional del Club de Lectura 2024 del Consejo para la Educación Oportuna

Honesta, curativa e inspiradora... Me ha hecho sentir visto y menos solo . --Javier Zamora, autor de Solito, bestseller de The New York Times

La fascinante historia de cómo una mujer latina, hija de inmigrantes, experimenta la movilidad social y reflexiona sobre los sacrificios que implican ser pionera en su familia.

Alejandra Campoverdi vivió de la asistencia social de niña, trabajó como asesora en la Casa Blanca durante el mandato del presidente Obama, se graduó de Harvard, fue novia de un pandillero y candidata para el Congreso de los Estados Unidos. Una vida de extremos contradictorios es común cuando se es primera y única . También se paga un precio.

Con franqueza y a corazón abierto, Alejandra rememora su vida como mujer mexicoamericana criada por una madre soltera en Los Ángeles. Primera generación es un poderoso testimonio que cuestiona las ideas preconcebidas sobre lo que se necesita para alcanzar el sueño americano. En estas oportunas y reveladoras memorias, Alejandra Campoverdi se basa en sus propias experiencias para compartir los desafíos que enfrentan quienes son primeros y únicos , iluminando un camino hacia la verdad, la sanación y el cambio.

Mitad memorias, mitad manifiesto, esta es una historia de herencia generacional, aspiración y el verdadero significado de pertenecer, un viaje conmovedor para reclamar esas partes de nosotros mismos que sacrificamos para poder sobrevivir .

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION


2X NATIONAL BESTSELLER IN THE U.S.
Martin Cruz Smith Award (CALIBA)
Dolores Huerta Award (International Latino Book Awards)
2024 National Book Club Selection by the Council for Timely Education
Longlisted for the OWL Award for Outstanding Literary Works for First-Year Students.

"Honest, healing, and inspiring... It made me feel seen and less alone." --Javier Zamora, author of Solito, New York Times bestseller

The fascinating story of how a Latina woman, daughter of immigrants, navigates social mobility while reflecting on the sacrifices that come with being the first in her family to break new ground.

Alejandra Campoverdi grew up on welfare, served as a White House aide during President Obama's administration, graduated from Harvard, dated a gang member, and ran for U.S. Congress. A life full of contradictions is not unusual when you're the "first and only." But there's a price to pay.

With honesty and an open heart, Alejandra recounts her life as a Mexican American woman raised by a single mother in Los Angeles. First Gen is a powerful testimony that challenges preconceived ideas of what it takes to achieve the American Dream. In these timely and revealing memoirs, Alejandra Campoverdi draws from her own experiences to share the challenges faced by "first and only" trailblazers--lighting the way toward truth, healing, and transformation.

Half memoir, half manifesto, this is a story of generational inheritance, ambition, and the true meaning of belonging--a heartfelt journey to reclaim the parts of ourselves we sacrifice in order to survive.
