“Canto Y Grito Mi Liberacion” is a powerful bilingual collection of poetry by Ricardo Sanchez, a pioneering voice in the Chicano literary renaissance of the 1960s and 70s. Sanchez’s raw, visceral verses capture the struggles and aspirations of Mexican Americans, shedding light on issues of identity, social justice, and cultural pride. This edition, published in 1995, offers English and Spanish versions side-by-side, allowing readers to fully appreciate Sanchez’s masterful command of both languages. Despite its well-worn exterior, this copy remains a compelling artifact of a pivotal era in Chicano literature, when writers like Sanchez gave voice to a community long marginalized. For collectors and readers alike, it represents an opportunity to engage with a seminal work that challenged societal norms and paved the way for future generations of Chicano authors.
