Local 764 Social Justice Task Force Presents: A Deep Dive into “In the Time of Butterflies by Julia Alvarez
About the Book
In the heart of the Dominican Republic, four courageous sisters — Minerva, Patria, Dede, and Maria Teresa — challenge the tyrannical rule of dictator Trujillo. Known by their resistance name, ‘Las Mariposas’, these real-life legends become symbols of defiance and hope. As their stories unfold, the colorful wings of butterflies symbolize their vibrant fight for freedom. But will they rise against oppression, or will the might of the regime curtail their dreams?
Celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month
Hispanic Heritage Month honors the vibrant cultures, histories, and significant contributions of Hispanic and Latino Americans. This period serves as a poignant reminder of the struggles, triumphs, and enduring spirit of a community that has profoundly shaped the cultural mosaic of America.
Why This Book?
In the Time of Butterflies is not just a story of rebellion; it’s a testament to the resilience of the Hispanic spirit, the depth of family bonds, and the sacrifices made for freedom. Julia Alvarez masterfully weaves the threads of history, drama, and resistance to produce a tapestry that embodies the essence of Hispanic heritage.
