Ladies,
I am not joking or being a Troll; I am serious. The book is an extension of my dissertation study. I have been conducting interviews for this book project over the last three weeks; which is in addition to interviews conducted in 1993 and 1999, as well as 49 surveys and hundreds of pages of homepage data.
Although I have found a publisher that is interested, I plan to send out a proposal to other publishers in order to find a good "home" for my book. The publisher listed below has published a few books about Greek-letter organizations, including one Title: Black Greek 101... I have listed the name of the publisher, their online website and the name of the Director who stated he would accept my manuscript this coming summer. I am working very hard at getting this book done and have even found a Latina-based sorority member who has stated she is interested in being a co-author. We haven't talked in person yet in order to work out how this co-authorship might work since I've already done so much of the work. Nonetheless, I think it would be a good idea to have her as a co-author so that the book is a better representation of LaGLS.
My book will be called Latina Greek 101: Performing
Latinidad. The interested publisher is listed below. If you want your organization to be listed, then please do send me your information. If you don't want to be listed in my book, that is okay as well. I think this book is going to be a very good seller and I anticipate it will be good publicity for Latina-based sororities, which are more and more leaning toward multiculturalism although they may have started as Latina-based.
