Through rich, expressionistic imagery, Lolita's life of migration and toil is laid bare. While factory foremen shout in hostile, foreign tongues, there's talk of revolution in snug tenements where children run and play. Interspersed are sketches of Puerto Rican history and folklore, carving a defiant line from the personal to the political.
The brilliant follow-up to John Vasquez Mejias's Eisner Award-nominated debut woodcut graphic novel, The Puerto Rican War--the original prints of which reside in the permanent collection of The Metropolitan Museum of Art--Lolita Lebrón: Puerto Rican Revolutionary is both an urgent call for and a compelling history of bravery and women's radical resistance in the face of violent imperialist ambition.
