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. Rodriguez has a distinctly inspiring passion and wisdom in his approach. Ultimately, the book carries the message that we must come together if we are to move forward. As he reminds us in the first essay, "The End of Belonging," "I'm writing as a Native person. I'm writing as a poet. I'm writing as a revolutionary working class organizer and thinker who has traversed life journeys from which incredible experiences, missteps, plights, and victories have marked the way. . . . I belong anywhere." The pieces in From Our Land to Our Land capture that same fantastic energy and wisdom and will spark conversation and inspiration"-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Rodriguez, Luis J., $d 1954- 650 0 $a Authors, American $v Biography. 650 0 $a Mexican Americans $v Biography. 650 0 $a Racially mixed people $v Biography. 650 0 $a Racially mixed people $z United States $x Social conditions. 650 0 $a Cultural pluralism $z United States. 651 0 $a United States $x Ethnic relations. 651 0 $a United States $x Race relations. 655 7 $a Autobiographies. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Essays. $2 lcgft 941 $a 3 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117015823.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20200502010249.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20200227010913.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=014B1372592F11EAA5EA830F97128E48 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
