Resistencia: Poems of Protest and Revolution by Julia Alvarez
4.0
Phenomenal. These poems were so moving. I've got so many highlighted passages and reading over the passages aloud are so powerful.
I love the notes that are included about specific poems and their authors. I also really enjoyed reading about all of the poets after reading their work. It is amazing to see how many award were given out and heart wrenching to read about some of their fates. Many of these poets were (or are) such inspiring revolutionaries. I love that it is all inclusive and intersectional as well, no voice is not heard in Resistencia.
Excited to use some of these poems and mini biographies in my social studies classes. They will fit topics of identity and culture, as well as units on colonialism and revolution as primary sources very well.
Note: Thank you NetGalley for a digital review copy of this book.
