Queering Mesoamerican Diasporas
2022
Overview
Acts of remembering offer a path to decolonization for Indigenous
peoples forcibly dislocated from their culture, knowledge, and
land. Susy J. Zepeda highlights the often overlooked yet
intertwined legacies of Chicana feminisms and queer decolonial
theory through the work of select queer Indígena cultural producers
and thinkers. By tracing the ancestries and silences of
gender-nonconforming people of color, she addresses colonial forms
of epistemic violence and methods of transformation, in particular
spirit research. Zepeda also uses archival materials, raised
ceremonial altars, and analysis of decolonial artwork in
conjunction with oral histories to explore the matriarchal roots of
Chicana/x and Latina/x feminisms. As she shows, these feminisms are
forms of knowledge that people can remember through
Indigenous-centered visual narratives, cultural wisdom, and spirit
practices.
A fascinating exploration of hidden Indígena histories and
silences, Queering Mesoamerican Diasporas blends
scholarship with spirit practices to reimagine the root work,
dis/connection to land, and the political decolonization of
Xicana/x peoples.
