Within these pages, readers will find wisdom, wit, and inspiration from Asian Americans, African Americans, Latinos, Arab Americans, American Indians, recent immigrants to the United States, and many others. With nearly fifteen hundred quotations, this exceptional book covers a broad spectrum: from insights on spirituality to words inciting social change and justice; from the impact of colonization, slavery, and racism to observations on gender, sexuality, and identity. The quotes show how people of color in the United States have been shaped by various community histories, ongoing political and cultural struggles, and personal evolutions. Each quote reflects three core themes from the histories of people of color in America: the significance of mass movements and the role of individuals within them; the vision that binds one society to another; and the foundational relationship between an evolving society and a changing self. Each chapter-Roots, Selves, Relationship, Work and Play, Making Change, and Inner Visions-adds to the larger story about people of color in the context of history, culture, and community. An invaluable tool for speechwriters, educators, ministers, and librarians that is accessibly organized for all readers, this entertaining and thought-provoking book is a much-needed resource for anyone interested in multicultural issues. Here you will find: Gloria Anzaldu?a on borders and margins; Margaret Cho on failure and success; Edwidge Danticat on women who write; Junot Di?az on masculinity; Vine Deloria, Jr., on activism; Suheir Hammad on miscegenation and identity; bell hooks on identity and oppression; Edward P. Jones on the system of racism; Philip Vera Cruz on leadership; Cho?gyam Trungpa on spiritual materialism; and much more. 517 3 $aLanguage is a place of struggle 606 $aMinorities$zUnited States$vQuotations 606 $aImmigrants$zUnited States$vQuotations 606 $aSocial change$zUnited States$vQuotations, maxims, etc 606 $aCommunity life$zUnited States$vQuotations, maxims, etc 606 $aSocial justice$zUnited States$vQuotations, maxims, etc 606 $aSpirituality$vQuotations, maxims, etc 607 $aUnited States$xRace relations$vQuotations, maxims, etc 607 $aUnited States$xEthnic relations$vQuotations, maxims, etc 607 $aUnited States$xSocial conditions$vQuotations, maxims, etc 615 0$aMinorities 615 0$aImmigrants 615 0$aSocial change 615 0$aCommunity life 615 0$aSocial justice 615 0$aSpirituality 676 $a305.8 701 $aNguyen$b Tram$01861904 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910967359503321 996 $a"Language is a place of struggle"$94468126 997 $aUNINA
