Revolutionary Voices: A Multicultural Queer Youth Anthology by Amy Sonnie

4.0

As a queer youth activist, I found this collection to be inspiring and empowering. I will say, though, that the book reveals its age at times - especially in its language (I cringed every time I saw the term "transgendered" or "transgenderist" or "transsexual"). I also feel the collection suffered from inconsistency in writing quality, probably due to Sonnie having an insufficient pool of writers to draw from. Nonetheless, much of the writing - particularly the poetry and some of the biographical writing - was simulaneously relateable and informative, and I left the book feeling more inspired and empowered than ever to pursue my activist goals.
