Opis

A radical Latina perspective on race, liberation, and identity

Elizabeth Martinez's unique Chicana voice arises from over thirty years of experience in the movements for civil rights, women's liberation, and Latina/o empowerment. In De Colores Means All of Us, Martinez presents a radical Latina perspective on race, liberation, and identity. In these essays, Martinez describes the provocative ideas and new movements created by the rapidly expanding US Latina/o community as it confronts intensified exploitation and racism.

Recenzje

"Elizabeth Martínez's work comprises one of the most important living histories of progressive activism in the contemporary era ... inimitable ... irrepressible ... indefatigable."
-Angela Y. Davis

"Though published nearly twenty years ago, the new Verso reprint of De Colores Means All of Us contains many urgent messages for the current moment. Part history and part philosophy, De Colores Mean All of Us is a vital key to untangling the messy social structures of race, class, and gender in a specifically Borderlander US context."
-Kevin Lentz, Latinx Spaces
