{"product_id":"the-life-literature-and-legacy-josephine-metcalf-9781399520591","title":"The Life, Literature and Legacy of Luis J. Rodríguez: In the Long Run","description":"Luis Rodríguez is a prominent Latinx poet, memoirist and activist renowned for his candid visceral accounts of urban working-class life that includes youth gang violence, incarceration and drug abuse, gruelling factory work and union organising activities and collective approaches to redemption and political empowerment, which have resonated across multiple communities in the United States and abroad. Accordingly, whilst Rodríguez has been the focus of some critical scholarship, huge segments of his life, work and legacy remain unexamined. This anthology has commissioned new and unique critical essays and reflections on Rodríguez's life and works, putting forward new ideas about bringing the voices of 'barrio organic intellectuals' to the fore. The anthology deliberately includes traditional academics as well as more public intellectuals and creative writers from across Europe and the Americas to reflect Rodriguez's own diverse outputs as a prisoner author and activist.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Josephine Metcalf\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1399520598\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781399520591\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Edinburgh University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/31\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 616\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.28lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 1.31d","brand":"Josephine Metcalf","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47202276278527,"sku":"9781399520591","price":125.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3880d066-1225-4afd-a337-792d9dba03c3.jpg?v=1756820129","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-life-literature-and-legacy-josephine-metcalf-9781399520591","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
