DESCRIPTION:
Book by Montoya, Jose
Viva! Maestro Montoya Ho! This book, "In Formation" illustrates how oral tradition and literary style can be artistically combined to tell the story(ies) of Chicanos. As an original member of the Rebel Chicano Art Front, and later as an adobe plane pilot in the Royal Chicano Air Force el Maestro honors in a tender and honest manner the people that live in our communities and are overlooked and/or placed in negative light by those who misunderstand the purpose for which they live. The poem entitled "Jefita" provides a vivid reminder of the love, dedication, and stre. Lorenzo L. Garcia said A critical read. This is one of the most important Chicano Poetry books written. Jose Montoya, a life long Chicano activist, writer, and educational leader captures the importance of our struggle from many vantage points. He talks about racism and internalized racism, as well as the oppression of Chicano men in our society, the harshness and the ridiculous things that occurred in our child hood. Montoya was a leader in the Chicano movement, and in our community in many ways, and his poems bring to light an often ignored and unstated history. Well done.
