This groundbreaking collection reflects an uncompromised definition of feminism by women of color. Through personal essays, criticism, interviews, testimonials, poetry, and visual art, the collection explores, as coeditor Cherríe Moraga writes, “the complex confluence of identities—race, class, gender, and sexuality—systemic to women of color oppression and liberation.”
Lo Que Nunca Pasó Por Sus Labios
'Moraga demonstrates her virtuosity as a poet; and, as a poet, she brings to her nonfiction essays images so hard, honest, and disturbing that her political analysis is breathtakingly personal and immediate.' San Francisco ChronicleThis new edition of Moragaâ__s seminal work on identity, sexuality, history, and the politics of Chicana feminism includes a new Introduction, three new chapters, and new poetry from Moraga.

An updated edition combining Loving in the War Years and The Last Generation: Poetry and Prose, with a new introduction by renowned writer and luminary, Cherríe Moraga. In celebration of the 40th anniversary since its original publication, this updated edition of Loving in the War Years combines Moraga's classic memoir with The Last Generation: Poetry and Prose, resulting in a challenging, inspiring, and insightful touchstone for artists and activists--and for anyone striving to foster care and community. Cherríe Moraga's powerful memoir remains as urgent as ever. A classic in Chicana as well as queer literature, Moraga's book explores the intersections of her Chicana and lesbian identities, moving gracefully between poetry and prose, Spanish and English, personal narratives and political theory. Moraga recounts navigating the world largely as an outsider, circling the interconnected societies around her from a distant yet observant perspective. Ultimately, however, her writing serves as a bridge between her cultures, languages, family, and herself, enabling her to look inward to forge connections from otherwise inaccessible parts of her interior world, to show how deep self-awareness and compassionate engagement with one's surroundings are key to building global solidarity among people and political movements.
