What does this book dedication mean?

Question

After describing Dominican suffering during years of US occupation, writer Angie Cruz writes, "En la lucha siempre, pa'lante." What do these words mean? Are they an allusion to anything in particular?

Answer 1

In the battle, always go forwards! ( Never retreat).

Onwards..

Thanks a million! Seems just right - mjcbeijing, Jan 11, 2012

Thank you, beijing! - annierats, Jan 11, 2012

Answer 2

As you struggle, never cease (always go forward) ! Pa'lante is an improper, but common slang contraction of the words "Para Adelante" that means "keep on trucking" (in the USA)

Good explanation! - Sheily, Nov 21, 2012
