NAMED ONE OF AUGUST'S BEST NEW BOOKS BY CNN | ON Cosmo's LIST OF 12 BOOKS YOU'LL BE DESPERATE TO READ THIS SUMMER | ONE OF Autostraddle's 60 QUEER & FEMINIST BOOKS COMING YOUR WAY THIS SUMMER | A 2020 TITLE TO WATCH BY Library Journal | LISTED ON Marie Claire's POLITICAL BOOKS TO READ


With a preface by Keegan-Michael Key

In the vein of Notorious RBG, seventeen writers explore the multiple meanings of a young Latina politician who has already made history.

From the moment Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez beat a ten-term incumbent in the primary election for New York’s 14th, her journey to the national, if not world, stage, was fast-tracked. Six months later, as the youngest Congresswoman ever elected, AOC became one of a handful of Latina politicians in Washington, D.C. Just thirty, she represents her generation, the millennials, in many groundbreaking ways: proudly working class, Democratic Socialist, of Puerto Rican descent, master of social media, not to mention of the Bronx, feminist―and a great dancer.

AOC investigates her symbolic and personal significance for so many, from her willingness to use her imperfect bi-lingualism, to why men are so threatened by her power, to the long history of Puerto Rican activism that she joins. Contributors span a wide range of voices and ages, from media to the arts and politics:

Editorial Reviews

Review

"AOC is a force to be reckoned with, and her story is one that will leave you inspired." ―Kami Phillips, CNN

"As the book’s editor, Lopez has collected smart, briskly written and often inspiring essays about the Bronx-born Boricua phenom." ―The Washington Post

"Urgent and timely... holds power by demonstrating the path that AOC has carved for so many of us who rarely saw ourselves in the leaders around us growing up...I recommend this book to anyone feeling downtrodden or weary with the state of the world." ―Medium

"This anthology of essays explores everything about the living legend Alexandia Ocasio-Cortez―from her symbolic significance as a political figure to her contributions to a history of Puerto Rican activism." ―Cosmo

"This book dives deep into [AOC’s] background, image, and ideas, and comes up with important insights." ―Library Journal

"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." ―The Nerd Daily

"[N]ovelist Natalia Sylvester looks at Ocasio-Cortez in perhaps the most relatable light of them all: As a Latinx person navigating her relationship to the Spanish language." ―Oprah Magazine

Being born and raised in the Bronx N.Y. I am so proud of AOC and wanted to learn more about her. These essays by these influential and powerful Latinas opened my eyes and I learned so much about her. I too am awestruck whenever i see her speak whether at an event in the House or on Instagram Being a New York Rican I am so proud of her. As my wife would say "You go girl"! I enjoyed the format and reading the different essays. Great job putting this all together. I would highly recommend this book for everyone but especially inner city kids to show we can make it. Thank you Ms Lopez for job well done

A sole book covering a complex person and her intriguing grooming/preparation for office. For all of her naysayers, she has done the legwork and put in the sweat equity to be where she is, and deserves the respect of her office. Happy to have read it.

4.0 out of 5 stars A fascinating examination of AOC’s impact and of a changing political system
Reviewed in the United States on August 12, 2020
‘AOC: The Fearless Rise and Powerful Resonance of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’ is partially an examination of Representative Ocasio-Cortez herself, and partially an examination of what it means to be a Latinx woman of color in today’s political landscape. Composed of essays from 17 writers, ‘AOC’ becomes biographical in places, in others, it’s more of a reflection on the essayists’ lives, and how the symbol of AOC has affected them individually.

In all, I think this is an important study in how impactful the rise of Rep. Ocasio-Cortez and other like-minded individuals has been, not only to the Latinx population, but to us all. And how her tenacity in the face of bigotry, sexism, and racism (even from the President of the United States himself) is inspiring, and creates a sense of hope for the future direction of the United States of America.

If you find the intricacies of a changing political system fascinating, and/or are looking for inspirational female leaders to emulate, this book is definitely for you.

Thank you, NetGalley and St. Martin’s Press for providing me with an ARC in exchange for my honest review.

5.0 out of 5 stars Loved this Book
Reviewed in the United States on August 11, 2020
Let me start by saying, I flat-out loved this book. The idea behind it is brilliant: bring together a community of exceptional Latinx writer and thinkers and let each of them address the significance of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and her election in their own way. There's an open letter, a discussion of different types of Spanish-language fluency, some Puerto Rican and Newyorican history. I loved this book. Every piece in it shone in its own way—and they all head me thinking in rich, creative—and hopeful—ways about our current world and its possibilities. I've already decided that I'm using this book as the main text in one of my writing courses next year. These writers speak truths I don't even have the language for, and that I still know will speak to my students in ways that will give them their own reasons to write.

Book Obsessed Girl
5.0 out of 5 stars A Must Read!!
Reviewed in the United States on November 17, 2020
As a Cuban-American daughter of immigrants AOC has always been an inspiring person. This book really does add to that inspiration to me. I was very emotional reading about all the people who are like me that she has inspired. Being Hispanic you don't always see someone like you in high levels of government much less a woman that is so courageous and willing to speak out for others. Reading about others stories was also something that really spoke to me. I will definitely be saving this for my niece to one day read so that she too can feel as inspired by AOC as all of us. This is AN ABSOLUTE MUST READ!!!

2.0 out of 5 stars Reads Poorly / Segmented Biography
Reviewed in the United States on August 4, 2023
Verified Purchase
This book seems to suggest that it is biographical in nature, however, it is a segmented book highlighting different opinions from a number of commentators. The reading is not comfortable or informative, it is a book centered around "fandom" more than "documentation". If someone buys this book for biographical or investigate documentation they may be disappointed like I was. It is basically a selection of opinionated commentaries written by fans of AOC.
