A bilingual collection of three significant works by a founder of the Nuyorican Movement. This second edition of Jesus Papoleto Melendez' s Hey Yo! Yo Soy! celebrates the tenth anniversary of the collection' s original publication in 2012. With a title update that reflects the tenth anniversary, this expansive collection comprised of three previously published books-Long Shadows, Have You Seen Liberation, and Street Poetry & Other Poems-brings together stories about growing up Puerto Rican in New York City' s El Barrio. Melendez, long considered one of the founders of the Nuyorican Movement, offers an approach to political, intellectual, and linguistic topics that remain poignant and relevant today. This tenth-anniversary edition offers a special introduction by professor, activist, attorney, and sociologist Jaime A. Estades, who surveys Melendez' s career in a sociological framework, offering a fresh perspective of his body of work. Melendez discusses his Hey Yo! Yo Soy! and provides a historical survey of the Nuyorican landscape and its existence today.
