Infos

An updated edition combining two classic works of Chicana and queer literature, with a new introduction by renowned writer and luminary, Cherre Moraga.In celebration of the 40th anniversary of its original publication, this updated edition of Loving in the War Years combines Moragas classic memoir with The Last Generation: Poetry and Prose, resulting in a challenging, inspiring, and insightful touchstone for artists and activistsand for anyone striving to foster care and community.Cherre Moragas powerful memoir remains as urgent as ever. She 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 ones surroundings are key to building global solidarity among people and political movements.
