“La Justicia” by Emily Costello
The critical and creative work in this issue stages a conversation about the intricacies of power and the concientización with which we negotiate these in everyday life. In the Chicana feminist tradition of valuing multiple forms of knowing, thinking, and feeling, we have woven them together in ways that demonstrate the intersections and parallels between them.
