About this title

From the Publisher:

The adventures of seven Filipino guerrillas rebelling against U.S. domination

From the Inside Flap:

"The publication of Carlos Bulosan's posthumously discovered The Cry and the Dedication, along with the masterful Introduction by E. San Juan, Jr., is a signal event in the history of cultural radicalism."
—Alan Wald, University of Michigan

"[A] stunning tale of Filipino resistance fighters."
—Asian Week

"[T]he novel has a cumulative power. Editor San Juan...contributes a 36-page introduction that discusses Bulosan's life, writings, and philosophy as well as the historical background to the novel."
—Library Journal
