From Our Land to Our Land by Luis Rodriguez

From Our Land to Our Land by Luis Rodriguez

Luis J. Rodriguez writes about race, culture, identity, and belonging and what these all mean and should mean (but often fail to) in the volatile climate of our nation. His passion and wisdom inspire us with the message that we must come together if we are to move forward. As he writes in the preface, "Like millions of Americans, I'm demanding a new vision, a qualitatively different direction, for this country. One for the shared well-being of everyone. One with beauty, healing, poetry, imagination, and truth." The pieces inFrom Our Land to Our Landcapture that same fantastic energy and wisdom and will spark conversation and inspiration.
