"La Siguanaba, es un personaje místico, que nuestros antepasados le dieron vida, ¿de cómo nació? Es una incognita, pero no se sabe si este personaje fue real, ficticio o inventado, porque todas las historias tienen un principio en una experiencia personal ... Se han contado infinidad de experiencias de personas que han tenido un encuentro con la Siguanaba, pero de estos encuentros muchos se enfermaron, otros se volvieron locos y fueron internados en hospital y también otris que murieron, por el impacto que recibieron en ese encuentro, y en su loca carrera cayeron en algún barranco on en suenfermedad les trajo consecuencias secundarias"--Jacket.

Who is La Siguanaba? La Siguanaba transforms herself into Super Siguanaba - a superhero who fights for social justice, social equality, mental health rights, and environmental justice. La Siguanaba is a shape-shifting Mayan superhero young woman. By day, she is a mesmerizing beauty with extraordinary intelligence. At night, the characteristics and traits of her evil side become apparent, exemplified by long hair, sagging breasts and razor-sharp nails. She struggles with depression, multiple personalities, and other mental health issues. Sometimes, she hears voices and imagines spirits. Her number one tormentor is El Cadejo - a twin spirit dog wolf. The fundamental question is: Who will triumph? La Siguanaba or El Cadejo. She has magical powers through the Loroco plant in the day. At night, she becomes an avenging, horrific spirit who seeks out corporate polluters destroying our air and water. She's forced to leave El Salvador, since Nestle and Coca Cola drained the small river near where she lived to sell recycled water and sodas, destroying all crop growth, and forcing everyone to migrate. Eventually, La Siguanaba migrates to the United States, where she is initially unseen, unheard, and invisible. As a Latina immigrant, she's discriminated against because of her gender, accent, and dark skin. She is questioned daily and not promoted in the National Academy of Sciences, even though she has obtained two PhDs from UCLA - one in science and the second in astrophysics. She continues her journey, however, undeterred by the haters. She develops secret formulas to extract clean, natural water from the Loroco and Flor de Izote plants, while working 24 hours, seven days a week in the laboratories of UCLA for decades. The Flor de Loroco has magical powers through which water can be extracted and reproduced. People throughout the world begin to grow Loroco plants in order to survive the droughts that climate change causes. The Loroco plant begins to be perceived as magical. Super Siguanaba obtains patents for all her invaluable work. After decades, La Siguanaba is officially recognized by the United Nations and other prestigious institutions. To top it all off, she receives the Nobel Prize, becoming the first Salvadoran American woman to obtain the distinction. Due to this, she gains enormous influence. The United Nations also designates her as a World Ambassador for Environmental Protection, Women Protection Issues, and as official advocate for people who suffer with mental health-mental illness. She becomes an advocate for equal pay for equal work; she is sick and tired of the wage gap and women being exploited, sexually harassed and underpaid. Super Siguanaba becomes a household name throughout the world. Extraordinarily, the Pope actually anoints Super Siguanaba as his successor. As the first female Pope, she creates monumental and transcendental change for all women. We are all Super Siguanabas!

The rationale stated for studying radical women of Latin America is first to throw light on the development of dictatorship and authoritarianism, second to transcend the stereotype of inherently violent men and inherently peaceful women, and finally to demonstrate that there is no automatic sisterhood among women even of the same class and ethnicity. Brief chronologies of three countries each in Central and South America open the two sections. The contributors are historians and political scientists primarily from the US.

Latino folklore comprises a kaleidoscope of cultural traditions. This compelling three-volume work showcases its richness, complexity, and beauty.

The encyclopedia surveys all manner of topics and subject matter related to Latino folklore, covering the oral traditions and cultural heritage of Latin Americans from riddles and dance to food and clothing. It covers the folklore of 21 Latin American countries as these traditions have been transmitted to the United States, documenting how cultures interweave to enrich each other and create a unique tapestry within the melting pot of the United States.

To expand the possibilities of “doing arts thinking” from a non-Eurocentric view, Artistic Mentoring as a Decolonizing Methodology: An Evolving Collaborative Painting Ethnography with Maya Artists Pedro Rafael González Chavajay and Paula Nicho Cúmez is grounded in Indigenous perspectives on arts practice, arts research, and art education. Mentored in painting for eighteen years by two Guatemalan Maya artists, Kryssi Staikidis, a North American painter and art education professor, uses both Indigenous and decolonizing methodologies, which involve respectful collaboration, and continuously reexamines her positions as student, artist, and ethnographer searching to redefine and transform the roles of the artist as mentor, historian/activist, ethnographer, and teacher. The primary purpose of the book is to illuminate the Maya artists as mentors, the collaborative and holistic processes underlying their painting, and the teaching and insights from their studios. These include Imagined Realism, a process excluding rendering from observation, and the fusion of pedagogy and curriculum into a holistic paradigm of decentralized teaching, negotiated curriculum, personal and cultural narrative as thematic content, and the surrounding visual culture and community as text. The Maya artist as cultural historian creates paintings as platforms of protest and vehicles of cultural transmission, for example, genocide witnessed in paintings as historical evidence. The mentored artist as ethnographer cedes the traditional ethnographic authority of the colonizing stance to the Indigenous expert as partner and mentor, and under this mentorship analyzes its possibilities as decolonizing arts-based qualitative inquiry. For the teacher, Maya world views broaden and integrate arts practice and arts research, inaugurating possibilities to transform arts education.

Bridges theory, art, and practice to discuss emerging issues in transnational religious movements in Latina/o and African diasporas. This is the first collection of essays to analyze intersectional religious and cultural practices surrounding the deity Yemoja. In Afro-Atlantic traditions, Yemoja is associated with motherhood, women, the arts, and the family. This book reveals how Yemoja traditions are negotiating gender, sexuality, and cultural identities in bold ways that emphasize the shifting beliefs and cultural practices of contemporary times. Contributors come from a wide range of fieldsreligious studies, art history, literature, and anthropologyand focus on the central concern of how different religious communities explore issues of race, gender, and sexuality through religious practice and discourse. The volume adds the voices of religious practitioners and artists to those of scholars to engage in conversations about how Latino/a and African diaspora religions respond creatively to a history of colonization.
