About The Book Club:

Welcome to The Poder Circle Book Club—a quarterly, themed book club that aims to spark and facilitate important discussion around our shared experiences, our unique stories, and the issues that affect our comunidad. As Poderistas, we want to show the world that libros by Latinxs matter—that our words have Poder. As people, we come from a long tradition of storytellers whose words have sparked movements. We honor that tradition by uplifting Latinx voices, deepening our understanding of the Latinx experience, facilitating discussion, and inspiring action through words with impact.

The Power of Perspective

As we step into spring, we have the opportunity to reexamine our past through a fresh lens. This quarter, the Poder Circle Book Club is embracing The Power of Perspective, which reminds us that the way we view history shapes our identity and influences our communities. This theme challenges us to question the narratives handed down to us, revealing history as a rich tapestry of diverse experiences. By focusing on survival and agency, we gain fresh insights into how shifting our perspective can redefine our understanding of the past and spark meaningful change.

Join us on this transformative journey—one page at a time—as we open our eyes to new truths and shape our future together.
