Originally published in 1987 and revised in 2004, Compa�eras speaks with the voices of Latina lesbians who are puertorrique�as, chicanas, cubanas, chilenas, hondure�as, brasile�as, colombianas, argentinas, peruanas, costarricenses, mexicanas, ecuatorianas, bolivianas, dominicanas, and nicarag�enses; women who met to speak about what it implies to be both Latina and lesbian in our communities, whether we live in Latin America or the US. Each time a woman begins to speak, a liberating process begins, one that is unavoidable and has powerful political implications. In these pages we see repeated the process of self-discovery, of affirmation in coming out of the closet, the search for a definition of our identity within the family and our community, the search for answers, for meaning in our personal struggle, and the commitment to a political struggle to end all forms of oppression. The stages of increasing awareness become clear when we begin to recount the story of our lives to someone else, someone who has experienced the same changes. When we write or speak about these changes, we establish our experience as valid and real, we begin to analyze, and that analysis gives us the necessary perspective to place our lives in a context where we know what to do next. Compa�eras becomes an instrument of unity, a political tool. Compa�eras habla a trav�s de la voz de lesbianas latinoamericanas, chicanas, puertorrique�as, cubanas, chilenas, hondure�as, brasile�as, colombianas, argentinas, peruanas, costarricense, mexicanas, ecuatorianas, bolivianas, dominicanas, y nicarag�enses; mujeresque se encontraron para hablar sobre lo que significa en nuestra comunidad ser ambas cosas, latinoamericanas y lesbianas, sea que vivamos en Am�rica Latina o en los Estados Unidos. Cada vez que una mujer comienza a hablar, comienza el proceso de liberaci�n; es algo inevitable que tiene implicaciones politicas ponderosas. En estas paginas vemos repetido nuestro propio proceso de descubrimiento, la afirmaci�n al asumirnos ante los dem�s, la b�squeda de una definici�n de identidad dentro de la familia y de nuestra comunidad, la b�squeda de repuestas significativas a las muchas personales y el compromise en la lucha politica para acabar con toda forma de opresi�n. Las etapas de crecimiento o de desarrollo de nuestra conciencia se hacen claras cuando comenzamos a reecontar la historia de nuestras vidas en alguien m�s, alguien que ha experimentado los mismos cambios. Cuando hablamos sobre estos cambios afirmamos nuestra experienca como v�lida y real, y ese an�lisis nos da la perspectiva necesaria para colocar neustras vidas dentro de un context que nos permita saber cu�l es el pr�ximo paso que temenos que dar. Compa�eras viene a ser un instrument de unidad, una herramienta politica.
