Now the original Xicanista is back to her first literary love, poetry, and to interrogating the social and political upheaval the world has seen over the last decade. Angry and sad, playful and wise, Castillo delves into the bitter side of our world-the environmental crisis, COVID-19, ongoing systemic racism and violence, children in detention camps, and the Trump presidency-and emerges stronger from exploring these troubling affairs of today. Drawings by Castillo created over the past five years are featured throughout the collection and further showcase her connection to her work as both a writer and a visual artist.

of the Dreamers]]></title><description><![CDATA[The "I" in these critical essays by novelist, poet, scholar, and activist/curandera Ana Castillo is that of the Mexic-Amerindian woman living in the United States. The essays are addressed to everyone interested in the roots of the colonized woman's reality. Castillo introduces the term Xicanisma in a passionate call for a politically active, socially committed Chicana feminism. In "A Countryless Woman, " Castillo outlines the experience of the brown woman in a racist society that recognizes race relations mostly as a black and white dilemma. Essays on the Watsonville strike, the early Chicano movement, and the roots of machismo illustrate the extent to which women still struggle against male dominance. Other essays suggest strategies for opposing the suppression of women's spirituality and sexuality by institutionalized religion and the state. These challenging essays will be a provocative guide for those who envision a new future for women as we face a new century.]]></description><link>https://mysapl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S172C433053</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://mysapl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S172C433053</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Castillo, Ana]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 31 Jan 1994 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://mysapl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/433053172</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>Essays on Xicanisma</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780826315540/MC.GIF&amp;client=sanap&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Mixquiahuala Letters]]></title><description><![CDATA[Focusing on the relationship between two strong and fiercely independent women-Teresa, a writer, and Alicia, an artist-this epistolary novel, written as a tribute to Julio Cortazar's Hopscotch, examines Mexican and Latina forms of love, gender conflict, and female friendship--Cover.]]></description><link>https://mysapl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S172C107523</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://mysapl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S172C107523</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Castillo, Ana]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 1992 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://mysapl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/107523172</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780385420136/MC.GIF&amp;client=sanap&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Mixquiahuala Letters]]></title><description><![CDATA["... an epistolary novel focusing on the correspondence between two Hispanic women, is a probing description of the relationship between the sexes.

Across the nation young people are fighting for civil and women's rights and protesting the Vietnam War and brutal dictatorships in South America. Like so many of her generation, Katia wants to make the world a better place, and is determined to follow her own path. As she considers moving to California to join La Causa, Mexican American activist Cesar Chavez's movement to improve the working conditions of migrant farmer workers, Katia receives an unexpected gift from her father: a plane ticket to Mexico City.
