You shall not try to relive yesterday for good or ill, it is forever gone.  Concentrate on what is happening  in your life and be happy now!

Current Issues in Comparative Education (CICE) is an international online, open access journal inviting diverse opinions of academics, practitioners and students. CICE shares its home with the oldest program in comparative education in the US, the Teachers College Comparative and International Education Program, founded in 1898. Established in March 1997 by a group of doctoral students from Teachers College, Columbia University, CICE is dedicated to serve as a platform for debate and discussion of contemporary educational matters worldwide. We welcome submissions from professors, researchers, students, advocates, policy-makers, and practitioners. http://www.tc.columbia.edu/cice/

In June 2007, Seal Press published Hijas Americanas:  Beauty, Body Image, and Growing Up Latina. Showcasing self-actualization, body image, and beauty perception among Latina women in a United States very different from their families’ native culture, Hijas Americanas provides a provocative account of the inner struggles and triumphs of Latin-American women as we are forced to reconcile two realities: that beauty, identity, and womanhood within our homes are largely defined by our ethnic culture and parents’ upbringing, while beauty, identity, and womanhood outside our homes are defined by American culture- often presenting us with two very different standards. http://hijasamericanas.wordpress.com/books/
