Publisher's Synopsis

#LatinoBooks

The most valuable poets are those who "speak truth to power" because they are able to serve as the "theorists" of grassroots social movements. Their aim is not to describe the nature of injustice but to challenge oppressive regimes by celebrating the creativity and inventiveness of the people in struggles. They are word warriors whose work can help us remake a ravaged world where the value of everything is set by market price and in doing so move toward the many worlds comprised of freely associated beings who are grounded in autonomous Indigenous spaces.

This book of 35 poems by food sovereignty activist and xicanx philosopher, Tezozomoc, opens with a poem ("They Beat Us") that ends with these lines: America!you keep beating me for being brownfor wanting democracy for competingfor asking you to accept me!

Tezozomoc is a Los Angeles Chicano Poet and 2009 Oscar Nominated Activist and has been published in the following journals: The Silver Stork, silverstorkmagazine.weebly.com/, 2018. Campanella, Nick.
