In this collection, twenty-two activists, artists, front-line organizers, and institution builders describe the storm's deadly impact on a people already living under oppressive conditions resulting from more than 120 years of US colonialism. The first-person accounts, poetry, and essays detail how Puerto Ricans organized themselves in the hurricane's immediate aftermath. The growing activism opens a new chapter in the fight for self-determination and freedom from colonialism and exploitation.---------------El 20 de septiembre de 2017, el huracán María azotó a Puerto Rico--el ciclón más devastador que golpeó la isla en casi un siglo. En esta colección, veintidós activistas, artistas, organizadores, y formadores de instituciones describen el impacto mortal de la tormenta en un pueblo que ya vive condiciones opresivas como resultado de más de 120 años de colonialismo estadounidense. Los relatos, la poesía, y los ensayos detallan cómo los puertorriqueños se movilizaron y organizaron inmediatamente después del huracán. El creciente activismo abre un nuevo capítulo en la lucha por la autodeterminación y la lucha por liberarse del colonialismo y la explotación.
