The Puerto Rican Movement: Voices from the Diaspora (Puerto Rican Studies)

Rating:
Summary: A good book for leftists of color
Review: This is not just a generalized book about Puerto Ricans. This is a packed anthology about the history of leftwing Puerto Rican organizations, both here and on the island. Let the reader be forewarned: it's purposely leftist and purposely focused on organizing. The book takes as a given that its writers favor independence from the United States. The book has a great chapter on PR gay and lesbian organizing along the East Coast. Many enthusiasts of Latino studies, leftist activism, and anti-racism struggles should purchase this. Just know that the book is written by progressives for progressives.
