“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
