De Colores Means All of Us: Latina Views for a Multi-Colored Century

Elizabeth Martínez’s unique Chicana voice has been formed through over thirty years of experience in the movements for civil rights, women’s liberation, and Latina/o empowerment. In De Colores Means All of Us, Martínez presents a radical Latina perspective on race, liberation and identity. “Though published nearly twenty years ago, the new Verso reprint of De Colores Means All of Us contains many urgent messages for the current moment. Part history and part philosophy, De Colores Means All of Us is a vital key to untangling the messy social structures of race, class, and gender in a specifically Borderlander US context.” —Kevin Lentz, Latinx Spaces
