Book description
Lectura esencial de una voz experta que nuestro país necesita: las memorias personales y políticas de Luis A. Miranda Jr. revelan una profunda comprensión de la cultura latina y de cómo construir una comunidad para cambiar nuestro mundo para mejor. Un veterano de Nueva York y de la política nacional, Luis Miranda encarna el incansable espíritu de progreso de los inmigrantes estadounidenses. No hay nadie en la escena política latina, neoyorquina o nacional con la experiencia, pasión y encanto narrativo de Luis A. Miranda Jr. En Incansable, comparte la fascinante historia de su vida y su carrera, desde sus primeros días como activista puertorriqueño de mentalidad radical hasta sus décadas de asesoramiento político y solución de problemas. Miranda relata la emoción del ascenso de Hamilton, creado por su hijo Lin-Manuel, y detalla el sufrimiento tras la devastación de Puerto Rico por el huracán María. Entre triunfos y desafíos, Miranda examina lo que su experiencia revela sobre nuestra política, demografía y sociedad en constante cambio.
About the Author
Luis Miranda llegó a la ciudad de Nueva York desde Puerto Rico en 1974 para estudiar psicología en la Universidad de Nueva York. No obstante, pronto se vio atraído por la acción comunitaria y organizó a sus vecinos para luchar por mejores escuelas para sus hijos. En los ochenta, fue asesor especial para Asuntos Hispanos del alcalde Ed Koch y continuó desempeñando funciones clave en las administraciones de Dinkins y Giuliani. Como socio fundador del MirRam Group, Miranda ha sido consultor de varias campañas políticas exitosas, incluidas las campañas senatoriales de la secretaria Hillary Rodham Clinton, el senador Chuck Schumer y la senadora Kirsten Gillibrand. Más recientemente, logró la exitosa reelección de la fiscal general de Nueva York, Letitia James, para ese cargo. Miranda es el presidente fundador de la Federación Hispana y actualmente es el presidente del Latino Victory Fund, Public Theatre, Northern Manhattan Arts Alliance y Viva Broadway. Es miembro de la junta directiva de The City y presidente del Center for Latin American, Caribbean, and Latino Studies del CUNY Graduate Center.
