An updated edition combining two classic works of Chicana and queer
literatures, with a new introduction by renowned writer and
luminary, CherrÃe Moraga. In celebration of the 40th anniversary
of its original publication, this updated edition of Loving in the
War Years combines Moraga’s classic memoir with The Last
Generation: Poetry and Prose, originally published in 1993, along
with additional writings from the late 1990s, The result is
a synergy of signature works crucial to the development of the
intersectional politics we know today. CherrÃe Moraga’s powerful
memoir remains as urgent as ever. She explores the contradictions
and complexities of her Chicana and lesbian identities, moving
gracefully between poetry and prose, Spanish and English, personal
narratives and political theory. Moraga recounts navigating the
world largely as an outsider in her early years, circling the
interconnected societies around her from a distant yet observant
perspective. Ultimately, however, her writing serves as a bridge
between her cultures, languages, family, and herself, enabling her
to look inward to forge connections from what had heretofore been
inaccessible parts of her interior world. A touchstone for artists
and activists, the works combine to show how deep self-awareness
and compassionate engagement with one’s radically changing
surroundings are key to building global solidarity among people and
political movements.Â
In a series of journal entries—some original passages, others
revisited and expanded in retrospect—Cherrié Moraga details her
experiences with pregnancy, birth, and the early years of lesbian
parenting. The premature birth of her son, when HIV-related
mortality rates were at their highest, forced Moraga, a new mother
at 40-years-old, to confront the fragile volatility of life and
death; in these recorded dreams and reflections, her terror and
resilience are made palpable. The particular challenges of queer
parenting prove transformative as Moraga navigates her
interesecting roles as mother, child, lover, friend, artist,
activist, and more. With an updated introduction and other
additions, this 25th anniversary edition of Waiting in the Wings is
thoughtful and emotive, with prose that is sharp and beautifully
written, from the voice of a beloved and incomparable
writer.Â
