About this book

A classic work by award-winning author Cherre Moraga The Last Generation is an electric mix of prose and poetry that continues conversations started in the beloved books This Bridge Called My Back: Writings by Radical Women of Color and Loving in the War Years: Lo que nunca pas por sus labios. Highly politicized and intensely personal Moragas work dares to imagine the mythic nation Queer Atzln: a brave vision for gender sexuality race art nationalism and the politics of liberation. Moraga crosses literary genres to ruminate on the paradox of being at once inside and outside the myriad struggles and communitiesinterlocking and often at oddsthat spur her art and activism. Speaking from her experience as a queer Chicana activist/artist Moraga is committed to building a broad politic of solidarity and justice for all dispossessed people. With fierce honesty and incisive political analysis Moraga offers more than an inspiring portrait of the struggle of an activist artistshe helps us see the world as it is and dream it up anew.
