"[A] stunning tale of Filipino resistance fighters." oAsian 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." oLibrary Journal "Written against the descending night of the McCarthyite witch-hunt, The Cry and the Dedication is a haunting allegory of search, struggle and redemption. It is high testimony to the power of the revolutionary imagination when empowered by the exile's dream of personal return and liberation of the homeland." oAlan Wald, University of Michigan
