Praise for De Colores Means All of Us: Latina Views for a Multi-Colored Century (Feminist Classics)
“Elizabeth Martínez’s work comprises one of the most important living histories of progressive activism in the contemporary era … inimitable … irrepressible … indefatigable.”
—Angela Y. Davis
“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 Mean 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
