Gender ideology. The “anti-racism” craze. The #MeToo movement. Sanctuary cities. These are among the building blocks of our new “woke” world, which, during the last few years, seemed to explode out of nowhere. But it didn’t emerge from nowhere. It originated on the campuses of some of our most respected colleges and universities. Over the past several decades, more and more faculty members at those institutions have exchanged humanism for radicalism. Rejecting the search for truth, they’ve become purveyors of ideology. They’re no longer teachers, but propagandists; once devoted to the spread of knowledge, they now focus on power dynamics, seeing oppression everywhere and viewin...
A Million and One Gods
As A Million and One Gods shows, polytheism is considered a scandalous presence in societies oriented to Jewish, Christian, and Muslim beliefs.

Chicana and Chicano Mental Health
Spirit, mind, and heart—in traditional Mexican health beliefs all three are inherent to maintaining psychological balance.

Chicana and Chicano Mental Health offers a model to understand and to address the mental health challenges and service disparities affecting Mexican immigrants and Mexican Americans/Chicanos. Yvette G. Flores, who has more than thirty years of experience as a clinical psychologist, provides in-depth analysis o...

Imagining LatinX Intimacies
Imagining Latinx Intimacies addresses the ways that artists and writers resist the social forces of colonialism, displacement, and oppression through crafting incisive and inspiring responses to the problems that queer Latinx peoples encounter in both daily lives and representation such as art, film, poetry, popular culture, and stories. Instead of keeping quiet, queer Latinx artists and writers have spoken up as a way of challenging stereotypes, prejudice, and violence occurring in communities ranging from Puerto Rico to sites within the mainland United States as well as transnational flows of migration.
