Produktbeschreibung
This book is more like a valedictory, a denouement. It reflects the morphing and deepening of discernment as one realizes that life indeed can be viewed from multiple prisms. Fiery and passionate at twenty-sixshe is lively and circumspect at seventy-eight. Father Charles Skok, a well-known theologian and philosopher, sums it up: The sharper edge of some of Dr. Mayugas writing is now moderated by her acceptance of the reality of getting old and the ensuing wisdom. The depth of feeling is still there, but there is a tinge of mellowness. Enriqueta Mayuga writes in her introduction: The discernment of a woman past her prime differs from that of an infuriated, aggrieved, and maligned youthful idealist. Over half century ago, she came to America a foreign, ethnic, female medical physician immersed in a society laden with xenophobia. Today, at seventy-eight, she simply views life through the generational lens of a speckled prism, but always with some reservations. Other books written by author: Immigrant at Peace Spring, Autumn, Sunset Outspoken and Mute: American Life Splintered Dreams, Blades of Truth, Shafts of Sunlight Landscape of a Challenged Life

Autorenporträt
Enriqueta Cartagena Mayuga's book, Speckled Prism, is not a book of protest, nor does it contain litanies of past ordeals and privations that dotted her previous writings. It is not a confessional. Her previous books chronicled her coming to America in 1963 at the age of twenty-six at the height of the civil rights strife. It also detailed her journey of pain that she and others like her have experienced due to racism and discrimination. Speckled Prism, her sixth book, is different. There is no flurry of bitterness or regrets. Gone are the plethora of emotional and career upheavals from inequities and injustice. It is necessary, however, to glimpse at the past for the reader to understand the present.
