De Colores Means All of Us

Elizabeth Mart�nez''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, Mart�nez presents a radical Latina perspective on race, liberation, and identity. In these essays, Mart�nez describes the provocative ideas and new movements created by the rapidly expanding U.S. Latina/o community as it confronts intensified exploitation and racism. With sections on women''s organizing, struggles for economic justice and immigrant rights, and the Latina/o youth movement, this book will appeal to readers and activists seeking to organize for the future and build new movements for social change. With a foreword from Angela Y. Davis.
