She explores the contradictions and complexities of her Chicana and lesbian identities, moving gracefully between poetry and prose, Spanish and English, personal narratives and political theory. Moraga recounts navigating the world largely as an outsider in her early years, circling the interconnected societies around her from a distant yet observant perspective. Ultimately, however, her writing serves as a bridge between her cultures, languages, family, and herself, enabling her to look inward to forge connections from what had heretofore been inaccessible parts of her interior world. A touchstone for artists and activists, the works combine to show how deep self-awareness and compassionate engagement with ones radically changing surroundings are key to building global solidarity among people and political movements.

Review "Sophisticated, visceral, rigorous, and relentless, Cherríe Moragas writings are as essential as ever. Bridging poetry and politics, her interrogations of the self and society are a lifelong project she has gifted new and returning readers. Even in her earliest writings, Moraga reaches to the future through the bifurcated paths of her personal journey in queerness, Chicanidad, and solidarity with all colonized peoples. Moragas indispensable interrogations of language and art demands nothing short of complete freedom for all bodies. It is a war cry that continues to liberate as it echoes across decades and generations." —Caribbean Fragoza, author of Eat the Mouth That Feeds You Promotional National media campaign, including TV, radio, and podcast interviewsNational print and online campaign, including reviews, features, author interviewsAuthor readings and eventsExtensive social media campaign, including wide influencer galley mailing National consumer advertising campaign at publicationExtensive library and school marketingBookstore campaign, including signed copies, readings, and display materials Long Description An updated edition combining two classic works of Chicana and queer literature, with a new introduction by renowned writer and luminary, Cherr Description for Sales People FROM A LUMINARY ICON OF THE LITERARY WORLD: Cherr Details ISBN1642599522 Short Title Loving in the War Years Pages 240 Publisher Haymarket Books Language English Year 2023 ISBN-10 1642599522 ISBN-13 9781642599527 Format Hardcover Edition 2nd Imprint Haymarket Books Place of Publication Chicago Country of Publication United States NZ Release Date 2023-09-28 UK Release Date 2023-09-28 Edition Description 2nd edition Audience General AU Release Date 2023-11-21 DEWEY 813.54 Publication Date 2023-08-15 US Release Date 2023-08-15 Author Cherre Moraga Subtitle Lo Que Nunca Pas por Sus Labios Alternative 9781642599060 Illustrations Illustrations We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
