The novella SORDIDEZ tells the story of ordinary people who rise up from the rubble of environmental disaster to remake their future. It is a story of about refusing to become extinct in the face of unyielding oppression. A blueprint for how indigenous renewal can seed futures of liberation. 3/

Maya and Taíno. Colonizer and Colonized. Perpetrator and Victim. These differences are recast to create something new. SORDIDEZ ends on a note of rebirth and possibility, where the long, sordid shadow of unspeakable violence is smothered away by the light of the sun's mythical bearer: Agüeybaná. 5/
