Palante: Voices and Photographs of the Young Lords, 1969-1971
Interviews and photographic essays highlight the spirit of the 70s New York-based organization of Puerto Rican radicals, the Young Lords. In 1969, a group of young Puerto Rican activists founded the Young Lords Party in New York City, taking inspiration from the Black Panthers. Palante, the first book by and about the radical organization, is brought back into print here with new introductory material. Capturing the spirit and actions of the sixties movements, Palante features political essays by members, oral histories of their lives leading into the party, and more than seventy-five photos of their vibrant membership and actions.
