Mujeres de Maiz en Movimiento

Founded in 1997, Mujeres de Maiz (MdM) is an Indigenous Xicana-led spiritual artivist organization and movement by and for women and feminists of color. Chronicling its quarter-century-long her story, this collection weaves together diverse stories with attention to their larger socio political contexts. The book crosses conventional genre boundaries through the inclusion of poetry, visual art, testimonios, and essays.

MdM's political-ethical-spiritual commitments, cultural production, and everyday practices are informed by Indigenous and transnational feminist of color artistic, ceremonial, activist, and intellectual legacies. Contributors fuse stories of celebration, love, and spirit-work with an incisive critique of interlocking oppressions, both intimate and structural, encouraging movement toward "a world where many worlds fit."

The multidisciplinary, intergenerational, and critical-creative nature of the project coupled with the unique subject matter makes the book a must-have for high school and college students, activist-scholars, artists, community organizers, and others invested in social justice and liberation.
