The matrilineal connection is revealed as both homeplace and battleground. The poem "Mamacita" describes mother as a prevailing presence who "hummed all day long / over the caboose kitchen" and "dragged her broom / across a lifetime of linoleum floors." On the other hand, in the essay "Vida," mother becomes controversy: "My mother started to complain about the little things Vida did, or did not do.... Mother was spreading her wings and getting ready to fight for exclusivity over her nest." The revolution depicted is part of the human condition, the rough change from child to adult, couched in the bright colors of the barrio. --Susan Swartwout
