Don't Mess with
Tanya: Stories Emerging from Boston's
Barrios
Ken Tangvik
As Boston’s demographics shift, a subtle
cultural revolution swirls
ahead, opening doors of perception. Jazmin, a Latina teen,
explores immortality on a basketball
court in Jamaica Plain. Tanya,
a young black woman from Dorchester, confronts a store-owner over
racial profiling. Matt, an
Irish thug from Charlestown, learns “what
women want” at a Caribbean hair salon in Mattapan. Rosa,
a beautiful Brazilian house
cleaner in Brighton, tests out a theory with her
dueling boyfriends. These characters and others
crash, clash, and commune in
loosely-linked provocative stories that explore themes of
culture, race, immigration, violence,
love and spirituality. The
engaging urban tales propel the reader into everyday dramas that are
transforming Beantown’s
social fabric.
