Produktbeschreibung
A bilingual collection of three significant works by a founder of the Nuyorican Movement.   This second edition of Jesús Papoleto Meléndezâ¿s Hey Yo! Yo Soy! celebrates the tenth anniversary of the collectionâ¿s original publication in 2012. With a title update that reflects the tenth anniversary, this expansive collection comprised of three previously published booksâ¿Long Shadows, Have You Seen Liberation, and Street Poetry & Other Poemsâ¿brings together stories about growing up Puerto Rican in New York Cityâ¿s El Barrio. Meléndez, long considered one of the founders of the Nuyorican Movement, offers an approach to political, intellectual, and linguistic topics that remain poignant and relevant today.   This tenth-anniversary edition offers a special introduction by professor, activist, attorney, and sociologist Jaime A. Estades, who surveys Meléndezâ¿s career in a sociological framework, offering a fresh perspective of his body of work. Meléndez discusses his Hey Yo! Yo Soy! and provides a historical survey of the Nuyorican landscape and its existence today.
