Watch the Sabrina Vourvaoulisa interview on her latest book, Nuestra América.

Nuestra América highlights thirty inspiring Latina/o/xs throughout history and their extraordinary contributions to the cultural, social, and political character of the United States. As we journey with each figure, we discover more about their cultural background, childhood, and the challenges they met in pursuit of their goals. The book is a must-have for teachers looking to create a more inclusive curriculum. It is also a must-have for Latina/o/x youth who need to see themselves represented as an integral part of the American story, and for all parents who want their kids to have a more comprehensive understanding of American history.
