Resistencia: Poems of Protest and Revolution by Julia Alvarez

5.0

A huge thank you to Netgalley and Tin House for a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Per request from the publisher, a full review of this book will be published within two weeks of publication date on September 2nd on armedwithabook.com .

Overall, this book is a beautiful tapestry of many voices within Latin America with the poems in their original languages alongside the English translation. Poems of resilience, desperation, resistance, and hope highlight the nuances that various people groups faced throughout a long history of colonization.
