Anzaldúa started writing fiction in the 70s and revised PRIETA up until her passing. I love the retro vibe of the cover. The collection includes an intro by the editors, a glossary/translations for each story written by Gloria (a rarity for her!), & appendices, incl draft pages from the archive.
It's up! It's up!

PRIETA IS DREAMING: A CUENTOS-NOVELA

A new collection of stories from the late, legendary Gloria E. Anzaldúa, coming in Nov from @sunypress.bsky.social. Ft. cover art from the archive by a dear friend of Gloria's.

Available for preorder NOW. sunypress.edu/Books/P/Prie...

Quería escribir sobre la invención de la tortilla, pero después de hacer algunas entrevistas preferí escribir sobre quiénes hicieron por más de 2 mil años las tortillas. El nixtamal fue una franca esclavitud para las mujeres hasta el siglo XX. Les cuento por qué.

La Esclavitud de Hacer Tortillas: ¿Cómo las Mujeres se Liberaron con las Máquinas de Nixtamal?
Hacer tortillas fue por siglos una forma de esclavitud para las mujeres mexicanas, quienes debían lidiar de forma exclusiva con el metate y el comal
