Reviews

"The members of Mujeres de Maiz have been building and enriching Chicanx/Latinx, feminist[s] of color, and activist communities for [more than] twenty-five years. Finally, we have a text to document the years of praxis they have been enacting and their visions for the future."--Anita Tijerina Revilla, activist and professor at California State University, Los Angeles

"We are here, living inheritors of de-colonial feminist movements. We gather across continental divides as 'sisters of the yam, ' 'womanists, ' 'third world liberationists, ' 'nepantleras' and as feminist-of-color creators, students, teachers--practitioners of the possible. Today, we are called to gather as 'Mujeres de Maiz.' This book's chapters impart what we have learned and want to give back: cooperative modes of power, indigenous systems of communalism, philosophies and practices of non-violence, ancient spiritual practices and time-honored medicine ways. All readers are invited to join, to carry mujerista legacies forward, to re-member, to re-stor(y)!"--Chela Sandoval, University of California, Santa Barbara
