IRIS MORALES is a lifelong activist, educator, and outspoken advocate for social justice and the decolonization of Puerto Rico. Her extensive experience as a community organizer and activist provides a deeply nuanced perspective on social justice issues. In her groundbreaking books, Revisiting Herstories: The Young Lords Party and Through the Eyes of Rebel Women, she documents the activism of Puerto Ricans in the social movements of the 1960s and 1970s. Morales' latest anthology, Latinas: Gender, Class & Race, is a compelling collection that focuses on the experiences of Black, Indigenous, and working-class women in the post-COVID era. This anthology is the second volume in a series of Latina writings she has meticulously curated. In addition, her anthology Voices from Puerto Rico: Post-Hurricane Maria captures stories of resilience and community-building efforts amid a humanitarian crisis. She has also edited poetry collections and plays, exploring Puerto Rican history and culture. Morales is co-author with Dr. Raquel M. Ortiz of Vicki: A Summer of Change, a bilingual children’s book. She is also the producer, writer, and co-director of the pioneering and award-winning documentary, !Palante, Siempre Palante! Morales' work has been widely anthologized, and she is a frequent speaker at conferences and panels. She actively collaborates to enhance historical awareness and advance social change.

Latinas: Gender, Race, and Class-Struggles in 21st Century USA, Vol. 2 celebrates the spirit and resilience of Latinas navigating the complex intersections of class, race, and gender that shape their lives.

The COVID-19 pandemic starkly illuminated the extraordinary challenges Black, Indigenous, and working-class Latinas face as essential workers on the frontlines and within their homes. Featuring thirty-five contributors -authors, poets, activists, and artists- this compelling collection delves into the rich tapestry of Latina experiences.

At its core is the concept of "intersectionality," emphasizing the interconnected nature of systemic oppression and the urgent need for collective action to achieve meaningful change. Exploring both new themes and historical legacies, the volume amplifies the activism of Latinas in ongoing battles for women's rights, economic and racial justice and struggles against colonialism and imperialism.

The anthology documents Latina experiences in today's turbulent political climate, engaging with issues and concerns that resonate across borders and boundaries. Latinas: Gender, Race, and Class-Struggles in 21st Century USA, Vol.

2 is a testament to power of storytelling, feminist collaboration, and the enduring pursuit of freedom and justice. Selections from contributors:"I will untangle the cobwebs of history and memory-of beauty and betrayal.
