Latinas: Gender, Race, and Class by Iris Morales & Karina Hurtado-Ocampo

OVERVIEW

Latinas: Gender, Race, and Class—Struggles in 21st Century USA, Vol. 2 celebrates the spirit and resilience of Latinas navigating the complex intersections of class, race, and gender that shape their lives. The COVID-19 pandemic starkly illuminated the extraordinary challenges Black, Indigenous, and working-class Latinas face as essential workers on the frontlines and within their homes.

Featuring thirty-five contributors—authors, poets, activists, and artists—this interesting collection delves into the rich tapestry of Latina experiences. At its core is the concept of "intersectionality," emphasizing the interconnected nature of systemic oppression and the urgent need for collective action to achieve meaningful change. Exploring both new themes and historical legacies, the volume amplifies the activism of Latinas in ongoing battles for women's rights, economic and racial justice, and struggles against colonialism and imperialism. The anthology documents Latina experiences in today's turbulent political climate, engaging with issues that resonate across borders and boundaries.

Latinas: Gender, Race, and Class—Struggles in 21st Century USA, Vol. 2 is a testament to the power of storytelling, feminist collaboration, and the enduring pursuit of freedom and justice.
