Description
The Young Lords: A Reader offers a unique perspective on a pivotal moment in American history. This collection brings together the writings and images of the Young Lords, a radical Puerto Rican organization that emerged in the late 1960s and early 1970s. Through their essays, journalism, photographs, speeches, and pamphlets, the Young Lords share their vision for social change and self-determination. Organized around key issues such as education, healthcare, gentrification, police injustice, and gender equality, this volume provides a comprehensive look at the organization's diverse and inventive activism. By recovering these rare materials, Darrel Enck-Wanzer has given voice to the Young Lords' story, creating an indispensable resource for students, scholars, activists, and anyone interested in learning about this influential grassroots movement.
