\"RomanOdio\"<\/a>Member Clara Roman-Odio shares this announcement of her newly published book and link to video interview on it:<\/p>\n

Sacred Iconographies<\/i> shows how Chicanas look beyond local histories and confront new asymmetries produced by transnational systems in the era of globalization. Empowered by the rich traditions of their indigenous spiritualities, Chicanas expose the failures of these systems that claim to pursue the betterment of all, while actually remaining indifferent to, or possibly ignorant of, the poor of color and the poor around the globe. By centering the discussion on these spiritual traditions, sometimes elided or glossed over by scholarship, in spite of the fact that they are fundamental to Chicana literature and art, Sacred Iconographies <\/i>offers an innovative feminist framework for Chicana studies\u00e2\u20ac\u201da framework that aims to develop new critical lines in cross-cultural research within the U.S. and beyond.<\/p>\n

Today these figures are facilitating an emerging planetary culture that functions beyond and without borders. This book\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s method makes their presence visible – but only if readers are able to think in and through a de-colonizing feminism that is at once spiritual, political, global, and Chicana.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d – Chela Sandoval, author of Methodology of the Oppressed<\/i><\/p>\n
