Each short chapter is a letter describing the large and small ways she*s not *seen* by her white employers. And from a book called *Other Fires: Short Fiction by Latin American Women,* edited by Alberto Manguel, I*ve used a short story called *The Stolen Party* for more advanced students (giving them all but the last page and asking them to write the ending before reading the real one). This one is about a child being taught her class position (I think in Argentina). Andy Nash NELRC/World Education 617-482-9485
