Reservoir Bitches
A debut collection of gritty, streetwise, and wickedly funny stories about Mexican women who fight, skirt, cheat, cry, kill, and lie their way to survival. “Life’s a bitch. That’s why you gotta rattle her cage, even if she’s foaming at the mouth.” In the linked stories of Reservoir Bitches, thirteen Mexican women prod the bitch that is Life and become her. From the all-powerful daughter of a cartel boss to the victim of transfemicide, from a houseful of spinster seamstresses to a socialite who supports her politician husband by faking Indigenous roots, these women spit on their own reduction and invent new ways to endure, telling their own stories in bold, unapologetic voices. At once a work of black humor and social critique, Reservoir Bitches is a raucous debut from one of Mexico’s most thrilling new writers.
Tsunami
Merging waves of feminist thought from established and emerging Mexican women writers, Tsunami arrives with seismic, groundbreaking force. Featuring personal essay, manifesto, creative nonfiction, and poetry, Tsunami gathers the multiplicity of voices being raised in Mexico today against patriarchy and its buried structures.

Asserting plurality as a political priority, Tsunami includes trans voices, Indigenous voices, Afro-Latinx voices, voice...
Bastarde disperate
«Mi sono raccomandata al Diavolo perché in questi casi Dio ti snobba», dice una delle protagoniste di Bastarde disperate, il primo grande libro di Dahlia de la Cerda, vincitore del Premio Nacional Comala 2019 in Messico. «Per uscire da tutto questo non basta volerlo, andare oltre. Queste sono frasi da bianchi. Nel quartiere ti giochi il tutto per tutto per sopravvivere.» E non vale solo nel «quartiere», violento e popolato da cholos, delinquenti e spacciatori, se anche Yuliana, la macabra e tenera erede al trono di un signore della droga, nella sua sierra non può smettere di combattere per stare a galla. E se la sua migliore amica Regina è costretta a pagare caro il suo desiderio di...

Archivos en transición
Mit dem "archival turn" wurde das Archiv zu einem Zentralbegriff der Gedächtnisforschung. Ehedem eine staubige Angelegenheit und Orte offiziellen Herrschaftswissens, enthalten und erzählen Archive Geschichten im Spannungsfeld von individuellem und kollektivem Gedächtnis. Infolge von Digitalisierung und neuen institutionellen Zugängen verwandeln sie sich oftmals in konterdiskursive Reflexionsinstanzen. In Lateinamerika spielen die "Menschenrechtsarchive" eine zentrale Rolle bei der Aufarbeitung der Vergangenheit. Subalterne Gruppen rekontextualisieren und resemantisieren Archive, indem sie sie einerseits politisch nutzen und andererseits ästhetisch bearbeiten. Sie erweitern und transformieren bestehende Archive und leisten damit einen Beitrag zur Demokratisierung. Thematische Schwerpunkte des Bandes sind theoretische Konzepte und die methodischen Zugänge zu Archiven, ihre Ästhetik sowie Perspektiven, die sozialer und künstlerischer Aktivismus eröffnen können.

Rebeldes y libres
«A vosotras os digo, porque yo así lo he vivido, que el feminismo puede ser un camino y no la meta, que es una ruta de vida que se transforma y se nutre en la medida en que maduramos, que es la magia de la historia que inventaron nuestras bisabuelas, que es una revolución sin armas, un encuentro sin odio, una búsqueda de justicia y no de venganza».
Lydia Cacho
La periodista Lydia Cacho, una de las voces actuales más autorizadas en lo que a defensa de los derechos humanos se refiere, ha escrito este instructivo libro como alegato a favor de la libertad y la rebeldía bien entendida de las jóvenes españolas. La idea surgió tras entrevistar en España durante mucho tiempo a cientos de menores de dieciocho años acerca de sus sueños, sus aspiraciones, sus miedos, sus reivindicaciones, su identidad sexual… Chicas diferentes que opinaban abiertamente y exponían sin tapujos sus maneras de pensar el feminismo. Un feminismo «de brazos abiertos» que las incluya a todas, siempre con más preguntas que respuestas.
