“Corazón en la mano” by Verónica Castillo Hernández
This issue, with its illustrations, essays, and creative works, displays the complexity of Chicana/Latina presence in U.S. society. Violence and gender relations, notions of leadership and activism, as well as nuanced ways in which we understand the presence of Africa in Latin America, continue to engage us in a critical discourse of citizenship.
