ABSTRACT
2The above excerpts of Rodolfo “Corky” Gonzales' 1967 epic poem “I am Joaquin” are part of a Chicana/o 2 counterstory. A counterstory recounts experiences of racism and resistance from the perspectives of those on society's margins. 3 In the spirit of Gonzales—whose life's work expressed the same defiance and hope of his poem—this book offers Chicana/o counterstories that challenge social and racial injustice along the educational pipeline.
