The contributors, almost all of whom were involved with the organizations they describe, provide detailed descriptions and historical analyses of the Puerto Rican Left. Interviews with such key figures as Elizam Escobar, Piri Thomas, and Luis Fuentes, as well as accounts by people active in the gay/lesbian, African-American, and White Left movements add a vivid picture of why and how people became radicalized and how their ideals intersected with their group's own dynamics. These critical assessments highlight each organization's accomplishments and failures and illuminate how different sets of people, in different circumstances, respond to social problems-in this case, the 'national question' and the issues of social justice and movement politics. Andres Torres is Professor, College of Public and Community Service, University of Massachusetts, Boston. Jose E. Velazquez is a Social Studies teacher in the Newark, New Jersey, public school system.
