Summary:

"This book illuminates the ways in which Chicanas, Puerto Rican women, and other Latinas organize and lead social movements, either on the ground or digitally, in major cities of the continental U.S. and Puerto Rico. It shows how they challenge racism, sexism, homophobia, and anti-immigrant policies through their political praxis and spiritual activism. Drawing from a range of disciplines and perspectives, academic and activist authors offer unique insights into environmental justice, peace and conflict resolution, women's rights, LGBTQ coalition-building, and more-all through a distinctive Latina lens. Designed for use in a wide range of college courses, the book is also aimed at practitioners, community organizers, and grassroots leaders"-- Provided by publisher.
