{"product_id":"the-new-york-young-lords-darrel-wanzer-serrano-9781439912027","title":"The New York Young Lords and the Struggle for Liberation","description":"The Young Lords was a multi-ethnic, though primarily Nuyorican, liberation organization that formed in El Barrio (Spanish Harlem) in July of 1969. Responding to oppressive approaches to the health, educational, and political needs of the Puerto Rican community, the movement's revolutionary activism included organized protests and sit-ins targeting such concerns as trash pickups and lead paint hazards. The Young Lords advanced a thirteen-point political program that demanded community control of their institutions and land and challenged the exercise of power by the state and outsider-run institutions. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In \u003ci\u003eThe New York Young Lords and the Struggle for Liberation, \u003c\/i\u003eDarrel Wanzer-Serrano details the numerous community initiatives that advanced decolonial sensibilities in El Barrio and beyond.
