Hey Yo! Yo Soy! 50 Years of Nuyorican Street Poetry, A Bilingual Edition, Tenth Anniversary Book, Second Edition

A bilingual collection of three significant works by a founder of the Nuyorican Movement.
 
This second edition of Jesús Papoleto Meléndezs Hey Yo! Yo Soy! celebrates the tenth anniversary of the collections original publication in 2012. With a title update that reflects the tenth anniversary, this expansive collection comprised of three previously published booksLong Shadows, Have You Seen Liberation, and Street Poetry & Other Poemsbrings together stories about growing up Puerto Rican in New York Citys El Barrio. Meléndez, 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 Meléndezs career in a sociological framework, offering a fresh perspective of his body of work. Meléndez discusses his Hey Yo! Yo Soy! and provides a historical survey of the Nuyorican landscape and its existence today.
