THE EXILED MOON
Exiled Moon offers truth to power and bears witness to the injustices that relegate women and communities of color to the margins of society. This powerful collection of poetry probes the geographical, social and spiritual borders between humanity and inequality. Poignant observations are woven into richly textured explorations of the forms of exile created by patriarchal systems that separate humans from their sense of purpose and belonging. Femicide, colonization, racism, immigration, are some of the issues confronted in this collection. The moon serves as a symbol for the divine feminine that is in exile from light of day. Poems in this collection also celebrate the power and resiliency of the collective spirit to confront and transcend injustice and to create new centers of existence away from the shadows of exile. Exiled Moon is a call to action to raise one’s fist, one’s voice or one's own consciousness.

Decolonial Voices
The interdisciplinary essays in Decolonial Voices discuss racialized, subaltern, feminist, and diasporic identities and the aesthetic politics of hybrid and mestiza/o cultural productions. This collection represents several key directions in the field: First, it charts how subaltern cultural productions of the US/ Mexico borderlands speak to the intersections of "local," "hemispheric," and "globalized" power relations of the border imaginary. Second, it recovers the Mexican women's and Chicana literary and cultural heritages that have been ignored by Euro-American canons and patriarchal exclusionary practices. It also expands the field in postnationalist directions by creating an interethnic...

A collection of writings that explores the experiences of Mexican-Americans during the Vietnam War, both on the warfront and at home; featuring over sixty short stories, poems, speeches, and articles.
The Handbook of Chicana/o Psychology and Mental Health
Mexican-Americans now constitute two thirds of what has become the largest and fastest-growing minority group in the United States, Hispanics. They have distinct cultural patterns and values that those who seek to serve them competently as clinicians and educators, and those who attempt to study them, need to understand. This is the first comprehensive overview of the psychology of the Chicana/o experience since 1984. Solidly grounded in the latest theory and research, much of which is relevant to other Latina/o groups as well, The Handbook of Chicana/o Psychology and Mental Health is an indispensable source of up-to-date information and guidance for mental health and education professionals, their trainees and students; and for social and behavioral scientists interested in the impact of cultural differences in multicultural settings.
Thirty Years After
Thirty Years After: New Essays on Vietnam War Literature, Film and Art brings together essays on literature, film and media, representational art, and music of the Vietnam War that were generated by a three-day conference in Honolulu during Veterans Week 2005. This large and extensive volume, the first collection of Vietnam War criticism published since the 1990s, reflects significant cultural and historical changes since then, including U.S.-Vietnamese cultural transactions in the wake of political reconciliation and the Vietnamese diaspora; popular commodification and memorialization of the war in America; and renascent American imperialism. Contributors include well-established and well-p...
