Host Daniel Chacón travels to Las Cruces, New Mexico to sit with legendary Chicanx writer Denise Chávez. They discuss her career, her Las Cruces bookstore, and her new book, Street of Too Many Stories (Conocimientos Press, 2024).
In this special episode of the MUSED: LA 2 HOU podcast, host and producer Melissa Richardson Banks interviews photographer Luis C. Garza with Charlene Villaseñor Black, Ph.D. who is Chair and Professor of Art History in UCLA's César E. Chávez Department of Chicana/o and Central American Studies, the editor of "Aztlán: A Journal of Chicano Studies" and the founding editor-in-chief of "Latin American and Latinx Visual Culture" (LALVC, UC Press). She publishes topics related to Chicanx studies, contemporary Latinx art, and the early modern Iberian world. What is decolonial love? Villaseñor Black shares that "decolonial love is a love for community and for ourselves that breaks free from coloniality, that is, the ways in which European social order, racial hierarchies, and imposed ways of knowing live on and structure our world today."Villaseñor Black states that "decolonial love manifested in Garza's photographs and, indeed, in the work of other Chicana/o/x artists and cultural workers from the beginning of the movement to the present day. By documenting the Mexican American experience of the civil rights struggles of the 1960s and 1970s, Garza's images fought against biased media representation and oppressive policing tactics. By presenting the truth of the Chicano experience and by his dignified representations of our community, Garza's photographs articulated decolonial love as they helped us visualize more just futures. This commitment to future action is central to activism and activist art."Some of Garza's most famous photographs documented activism during the Chicano movement. However, for the exhibition, curator Armando Durón strategically paired Garza's photographs to encourage viewers to make new connections with his more well-known images. While his couplings were often formal in nature, they fostered comparisons across differing subject matter. Scenes of protests, taking place in various locales -- from Los Angeles to New York to Uzbekistan and Budapest -- made clear the global nature of political unrest in the early 1970sWhile the interview was recorded on January 21, 2023, it is a timeless conversation about Garza and the images that he took while documenting the Chicano civil rights movement, the World Peace Conference in Hungary, and the women's movement in New York during the late 1960s and early 1970s."The Other Side of Memory: Photographs by Luis C.

City Lights & the SF LGBT Center celebrate the publication of "My Body Is Paper: Stories and Poems" by Gil Cuadros, edited by Pablo Alvarez, Kevin Martin, Rafael Pérez-Torres, & Terry Wolverton, foreword by Justin Torres. Published by City Lights Books. Purchase "My Body Is Paper" here: https://citylights.com/my-body-is-paper-stories-poems/ Purchase "City of God" here: https://citylights.com/city-lights-published/city-of-god/ Since "City of God" was published by City Lights 30 years ago, it has become an unlikely classic (an “essential book of Los Angeles” according to the LA Times). The book has touched those who find in his work a singular evocation of Chicanx life in Los Angeles around the time of the AIDS epidemic, which took his life in 1996. Little did we know, Cuadros continued writing exuberant works in the period between his one published book & his untimely death at 34. This recently discovered treasure, "My Body Is Paper," is a stunning portrait of sex, family, religion, culture of origin, & the betrayals of the body. Tender & blistering, erotic & spiritual, Cuadros dives into these complexities which we grapple with today, showing us how to survive these times & beyond. Gil Cuadros (1962–1996) was a groundbreaking gay Latino writer whose work explored the intersections of sexuality, race, & spirituality. Diagnosed with HIV in 1987, Cuadros channeled his experiences into "City of God," capturing the raw emotions of living with a life-threatening illness. His lyrical intensity & unflinching honesty shined a light on marginalized communities & familial expectations. "City of God" has gone on to become a classic of Chicanx literature. Kevin J. Martin is the executor of the Estate of Gil Cuadros, & a longtime copyeditor & writer. He serves as Senior Writer & Associate Editor for MagellanTV, where he writes on various topics related to art & culture. Rafael Pérez-Torres is professor of English & Gender Studies at UCLA & author of "Movements in Chicano Poetry and Critical Mestizaje," co-author of "Memories of an East L.A. Outlaw," & co-editor of "The Chicano Studies Reader." Amy Scholder is a literary editor & documentary filmmaker known for amplifying the stories of marginalized artists & activists. Amy began her career as an editor at City Lights. She has since served as US Publisher to Verso Books, later joining 7 Stories Press as Editor & Chief. In 2008, Scholder left 7 Stories to become the executive editor of the Feminist Press at the City University of New York. Scholder was approached by director Pratibha Parmar & producer Shaheen Haq to help finish their hybrid documentary feature, "My Name Is Andrea," about Andrea Dworkin. She became an executive producer of the film, which premiered at the 2022 Tribeca Film Festival. Joseph Cassara is the author of "The House of Impossible Beauties" (Ecco), winner of the 2019 Edmund White Award for Debut Fiction & finalist for the Lambda Literary Award for Gay Fiction. A graduate of Columbia University & the Iowa Writers' Workshop, he currently serves as the George & Judy Marcus Endowed Chair of Creative Writing at San Francisco State University. Flavia Elisa Mora is a queer, Mexican migrant artist, activist, & community organizer raised in occupied Ramaytush Ohlone land, in La Mission. Her main two foci are muralismo & Flor y Canto poesía. Flavia's work delves into the exploration of her identity, relationships, migration story, family & community history. She is a published writer, performs poetry throughout the Bay, & is one of the lead artists for the mural "Alto al Fuego en la Misión," located on 24th and Capp, SF.

Tara López's Chuco Punk: Sonic Insurgency in El Paso (University of Texas Press, 2024), is an immersive study of the influential and predominantly Chicanx punk rock scene in El Paso, Texas. Punk rock is known for its daring subversion, and so is the West Texas city of El Paso. In Chuco Punk, Tara López dives into the rebellious sonic history of the city, drawing on more than seventy interviews with punks, as well as unarchived flyers, photos, and other punk memorabilia. Connecting the scene to El Paso's own history as a borderland, a site of segregation, and a city with a long lineage of cultural and musical resistance, López throws readers into the heat of backyard punx shows, the chaos of riots in derelict mechanic shops, and the thrill of skateboarding on the roofs of local middle schools. She reveals how, in this predominantly Chicanx punk rock scene, women forged their own space, sound, and community. Covering the first roots of Chuco punk in the late 1970s through the early 2000s, López moves beyond the breakout bands to shed light on how the scene influenced not only the contours of sound and El Paso but the entire topography of punk rock.

This Throwback Thursday we revisit Episode 16 of the podcast, where we talk about the various attacks on Chicano Indigeneity, and ways we can counter them!Chicano Indigeneity Sadly, the latest online trend within the “woke” and “Latinx” crowd is to relentlessly attack Chicanas and Chicanos who identify as Indigenous. Given the fact that being Indigenous is a cornerstone of Chicana-Chicano identity (and is manifested in our culture, language, traditions, ancestry, systems of kinship, and our connections to the land), I find such attacks…curious to say the least.The basic argument goes something like this: Chicanas, Chicanos, and Chicanx folks did not grow up in traditional Indigenous communities, and therefore can only call themselves “Indigenous descendants” and not actual “Indigenous people.” Apparently, there is only one “authentic” Indigenous lived experience, regardless of how history has played out for the Mesoamerican diaspora. This bizarre bit of wordplay ignores the entirety of Chicana-Chicano history and reeks of identity policing at its worst. Interestingly, this assault on Chicana-Chicano Indigenous identity is practically identical to right-wing talking points that seek to deny Chicana-Chicanos our Indigenous cultural inheritance.It is certainly unfortunate that a handful of “latinxers” and Indigenous gatekeepers have taken it upon themselves to police Indigenous identity as it relates to the Chicano communityt. In doing so, they are sowing deep divisions among people who should be working together. And quite frankly, I think their argument just isn't very well thought out.In this episode we defend Chicano Indigeneity from such attacks.Your Hosts:Kurly Tlapoyawa is an archaeologist, ethnohistorian, and filmmaker.

Punctuated with elaborate ritual offerings dedicated to the forces responsible for rain, seeds, crop fertility, and the well-being of all people, these pilgrimages are the highest and most elaborate form of Nahua devotion and reveal a sophisticated religious philosophy that places human beings in intimate contact with what Westerners call the forces of nature. Alan and Pamela Sandstrom document them for the younger Nahua generation, who live in a world where many are lured away from their communities by wage labor in urban Mexico and the United States. Pilgrimage to Broken Mountain contains richly detailed descriptions and analyses of ritual procedures as well as translations from the Nahuatl of core myths, chants performed before decorated altars, and statements from participants. Particular emphasis is placed on analyzing the role of sacred paper figures that are produced by the thousands for each pilgrimage. The work contains drawings of these cuttings of spirit entities along with hundreds of color photographs illustrating how they are used throughout the pilgrimages. The analysis reveals the monist philosophy that underlies Nahua religious practice in which altars, dancing, chanting, and the paper figures themselves provide direct access to the sacred. In the context of their pilgrimage traditions, the ritual practices of Nahua religion show one way that people interact effectively with the forces responsible for not only their own prosperity but also the very survival of humanity. A magnum opus with respect to Nahua religion and religious practice, Pilgrimage to Broken Mountain is a significant contribution to several fields, including but not limited to Indigenous literatures of Mesoamerica, Nahuatl studies, Latinx and Chicanx studies, and religious studies.

Luz Elena Mendoza Ramos is a Chicanx artist and musician who has been playing under the name Y La Bamba for nearly 20 years. As the child of immigrant parents, Luz Elena struggled to feel seen in the music industry, but as they've continued making music, they have grown into their identity as an artist. Last year, Luz Elena moved back to Mexico City to explore where they come from. That search also led to the publication of their seventh studio album — “Lucha” — and to Y La Bamba playing their first show ever in Mexico City. In this episode, Luz Elena shares why playing that show was so important to them and reflects on their path toward becoming more themselves.

“[W]hat is our relationship to the Korean War and to the affinities” of different institutions that produce knowledge about the Korean War? (130) In her book, Warring Genealogies: Race, Kinship, and the Korean War (Temple UP, 2022), Joo Ok Kim “conceptualizes racialized formations of kinship emerging from the Korean War as a problem of knowledge” (4). Through a close reading of Chicanx and Asian American cultural productions as well as archives produced by white penitentiary prisoners and the United Daughters of the Confederacy, Joo Ok considers how Chicanx and Korean diasporic works critique white supremacist expressions of kinship that emerge from the official memorialization about the war. Further critiquing the division in disciplines and periodization in academia that forecloses discussions about colonialism spanning multiple geographic locations and temporalities, Joo Ok examines how queer hermeneutic helps us to reconsider “minor” and humble instances of kinships between Asian-Latino cultural productions. This book will be a wonderful addition to any interdisciplinary scholarship that critically thinks about US militarism, knowledge production, and the Korean War, as well as anyone who is interested in learning more about the Korean War. Joo Ok Kim is an assistant professor of cultural studies at UCSD, and her research and teaching interests include transpacific critique, literatures and cultures of the Korean War, and United States multiethnic literature and culture. Her selected publications include Warring Genealogies: Race, Kinship, and the Korean War (Temple University Press, 2022), which is part of Critical Race, Indigeneity, and Relationality Series, and contributions to “Keywords for Comics Studies” (2021), a special issue of Verge: Studies in Global Asias, and a special issue of MELUS: Multi-Ethnic Literature of the United States (2020). Da In Ann Choi is a PhD student at UCLA in the Gender Studies department. Her research interests include care labor and migration, reproductive justice, social movement, citizenship theory, and critical empire studies. She can be reached at dainachoi@g.ucla.edu.

The inner Niña represents the pure, innocent, and authentic essence of who we are. Nurturing and healing this inner Niña can lead to profound personal growth and a renewed sense of joy and peace. Here are five important areas of focus that help reconnect with our inner child, our "Niña" within:Embracing Inner Child: Healing the inner Niña begins with embracing our inner child. It's about acknowledging the experiences, emotions, and wounds that have shaped us. By reconnecting with our childlike curiosity, playfulness, and vulnerability, we open ourselves up to profound healing and self-discovery.Self-Compassion: Practicing self-compassion is an essential part of healing the inner Niña. It involves offering love, understanding, and forgiveness to ourselves for past hurts and mistakes. Through self-compassion, we create a safe and nurturing environment within, allowing our inner Niña to heal and flourish.Releasing Emotional Wounds: Healing the inner Niña requires acknowledging and releasing emotional wounds. This involves exploring past traumas, patterns, and limiting beliefs that may have held us back. By facing these wounds with courage and compassion, we can begin to heal and reclaim our inner power.Inner Healing Practices: Various practices support healing the inner Niña. Mindfulness, meditation, journaling, and creative expression can serve as powerful tools for self-reflection, inner healing, and reconnecting with our true selves. Engaging in these practices regularly nurtures our inner Niña and fosters a deep sense of inner peace.Cultivating Self-Care: Prioritizing self-care is vital on the journey of healing the inner Niña. This involves nurturing our physical, mental, and emotional well-being. Engaging in activities that bring us joy, setting healthy boundaries, and surrounding ourselves with positive influences all contribute to our inner healing and growth.Healing the inner Niña is an ongoing process that requires patience, self-compassion, and dedication. By embracing our inner child, practicing self-compassion, releasing emotional wounds, engaging in healing practices, and cultivating self-care, we can embark on a transformative journey of healing, self-discovery, and empowerment. As we heal our inner Niña, we reclaim our authentic selves and create a life filled with inner peace, joy, and fulfillment.And remember, when you know better you do better.DOWNLOAD and SUBSCRIBE to Hijas Madres Y Amigas.FOLLOW us on: Instagram| @hijasmadresyamigas @seelenaaa_ @lizetteaguilera_Spotify| @Lizette Aguilera @Selena DUARTETik Tok | @hijasmadresyamigasSubscribe to our newsletter at www.Justjmarc.comPlease email us here with any suggestions, comments, and questions for future episodes.
