As the book’s editor, Lopez has collected smart, briskly written and often inspiring essays about the Bronx-born Boricua phenom ... Apparent throughout the collection is how profoundly many of its essayists identify with AOC ... The essayists worry about the expectations that they and others have laid upon Ocasio-Cortez, especially knowing the entrenched interests and vocal opposition she faces ... AOC’s significance is hard to assess because she is still new to the national stage, and the contributors are appropriately tentative in their conclusions.
I encourage you to read this, especially if you want to know how meaningful it is to have this powerhouse of a woman leading where it counts the most ... These essays not only emphasise what an important figure she is, but just how important it is to continue to follow her journey. Please read this book, especially if you want to understand why AOC is so relevant and meaningful to the communities she’s a champion for.
Her contributors—from the arts, media, and political landscapes—closely examine the essential qualities of AOC’s broad appeal ... Enlightening and engaging perspectives on a remarkable political ascent.
While there are several articles about Ocasio-Cortez, this book dives deep into her background, image, and ideas, and comes up with important insights. For readers interested in aspiring to politics.
