Tsunami

Merging waves of feminist thought from established and emerging Mexican women writers,Tsunamiarrives with seismic, groundbreaking force.Featuring personal essay, manifesto, creative nonfiction, and poetry,Tsunamigathers the multiplicity of voices being raised in Mexico today against patriarchy and its buried structures. Tackling gender violence, community building, #MeToo, Indigenous rights, and more, these writings rock the core of what we know feminism to be, dismantling its Eurocentric roots and directing its critical thrust towards current affairs in Mexico today. Asserting plurality as a political priority,Tsunamiincludes trans voices, Indigenous voices, Afro-Latinx voices, voices from within and outside academic institutions, and voices spanning generations.Tsunamiis the combined force and critique of the three feminist waves, the marea verde (green wave) of protests that have swept through Latin America in recent years, and the tides turned by insurgent feminisms at the margins of public discourse.Contributors include Marina Azahua, Ysnaya Elena Aguilar Gil, Dahlia de la Cerda, Lia Garca, Margo Glantz, Jimena Gonzlez, Fernanda Latani M.
