"Hispanic Caribbean Literature of Migration: Narratives of Displacement" is a collection of thirteen chapters that explores the literary tradition of Caribbean Latino literature written in the U.S. beginning with Jose Marti and concluding with 2008 Pulitzer Prize winning novelist, Junot Diaz. The essays in this collection reveal the multiple ways that writers of this tradition use their unique positioning as both insiders and outsiders to critique U.S. hegemonic discourses while simultaneously interrogating national discourses in their home countries. The chapters consider the way that spatial migration in literature serves as a metaphor for gender, sexuality, racial, identity, linguistic and national migrations.… (meer)

Reviewed by Amber Gibson for TeensReadToo.com

PRICE OF ADMISSION is a glimpse into the privileged Hollywood lifestyle that Jasmine Green was born into. Her father is the head of EggBrite, a huge Hollywood studio. He cares more about the success of his films than his children and he's constantly marrying women half his age. Sounds like an average Hollywood family, right?

But what celebrity family would be complete without a little bit of scandal?

The Green family has its fair share of secrets and drama. But they've managed to keep it all hush-hush, even from each other.

At least that was the case before Jasmine's diary--in the form of a screenplay--is purchased by her father's studio! Nobody even considers that Jasmine wrote the screenplay. They all assume that Austin, Jasmine's recently deceased ex-boyfriend (drug overdose, of course), penned the brilliant screenplay. Everybody in Hollywood is talking about it, and it's only a matter of time before somebody will discover that this screenplay isn't really a work of fiction. Jasmine is willing to do whatever it takes to stop her family's secrets from becoming the next big scandal to rock Hollywood. But Jasmine's job is going to be a lot harder than it sounds, especially with sneaky reporter Barry Wentworth doing his best to uncover the truth about the Greens.

For anyone who salivates over the latest celebrity gossip and can't put down their latest issue of US Weekly, PRICE OF ADMISSION is a must-read! Leslie Margolis writes a fast-paced story with jaw-dropping surprises that will keep you wanting more. This is a perfect light and playful novel to read on the plane to your Ixtapa beach resort. While some of the characters could use a little more depth, Margolis plays off her characters to create a lighthearted Hollywood satire. ( )
