Hurricane Maria smashed into Puerto Rico on September 20, 2017, the most devastating cyclone to hit in almost a century. This anthology brings together the writings of twenty-two activists, community organizers, and artists who describe the destruction and dire conditions that the hurricane exposed: widespread poverty, lack of infrastructure, and severe austerity resulting from more than 120 years of United States colonial domination and a complicit local government. First-person accounts, poetic narratives, and essays detail how Puerto Ricans mobilized and the grassroots activism that opened another chapter in the struggle for national self-determination, human rights, and climate justice. The anthology is bilingual, English/Spanish. _______________El huracán María azotó a Puerto Rico el 20 de septiembre de 2017, el ciclón más devastador en casi un siglo. Esta antologia reúne escritos de veintidos isleños --activistas, organizadores comunitarios y artistas-- que describen la destrucción y las condiciones que el huracán expuso: pobreza generalizada, falta de infraestructura y austeridad severa como resultado de más de 120 años de dominación colonial de los Estados Unidos y un gobierno local cómplice. Los relatos en primera persona, las narraciones poéticas y los ensayos detallan cómo se movilizaron los puertorriqueños y el activismo de base que abrió otro capítulo en la lucha por la autodeterminación nacional, los derechos humanos y la justicia climática.
