"Pressing Onward is a stunning book, taking well-studied themes and presenting a fresh, relevant, and innovative take. It is unique in several ways, managing to address many of the core themes related to Latinx populations in the United States. Really, really impressive."—Alyshia Gálvez, Professor of Latin American and Latino Studies and Anthropology at Lehman College
"Beautifully conceived and organized, Pressing Onward focuses on the resilient ways Latinx women have overcome adversity during a global pandemic and in doing so have supported their families, social relationships, and socio-spiritual selves."—Emily Mendenhall, author of Unmasked: COVID, Community, and the Case of Okoboji
"Jessica Cerdeña rethinks resilience as a form of resistance to oppression and inequity. The mothers whom she works alongside are blamed for the social and health inequities that affect them, but they actively press onward."—Seth M. Holmes, author of Fresh Fruit, Broken Bodies and Chancellor's Professor at University of California, Berkeley
