Silence is Strong
NON FICTION, 1980. PLANETA NEW EDITION, 2023. 430 PAGES.
The act of resistance far transcends the indignation with which it began. It is a means of going out to meet one's fate, a final, desperate demand for justice. Migrants who come to the big city to escape hunger and poverty, the students of the ‘68 protests, hunger strikes by mothers of prisoners and victims of political repression, the surprising achievement of Güero Medrano and the Rubén Jaramillo community... the accounts featured in this book are testimony to a tempestuous struggle, grass roots stories written in the belief that freedom and equality are ever-present values that are renewed with each passing day.
The Elena Poniatowska Library gathers together the fiction, essays and protest literature by the writer who lent a voice to the great heroes of our time; flesh and blood warriors overlooked by the history books. Silence is Strong brings together some of the most celebrated chronicles that made Poniatowska a spokesperson for the causes she believed in.
