A LITTLE BIRD TOLD ME,
ME LO DIJO UN PAJARITO
Jade Leyva's work reflects influences ranging from pre-Colombian to post-modern. It is at times whimsical, celebratory and reflective, yet always thought-provoking and expressive - a visual “magical realism”. Her bilingual book, A Little Bird Told Me / Me lo dijo un parajito, is not simply a retrospective of her paintings up until the published date, but a treatise on the central themes of her art: love, unity and our fragile relationship to Mother Earth.

Letras y Limpias: Decolonial Medicine and Holistic Healing in Mexican American Literature
by dr amanda v. ellis
Letras y Limpias is the first book to explore the literary significance of the figure of the curandera within Mexican American literature. Amanda Ellis traces the significance of the curandera and her evolution across a variety of genres written by leading Mexican American authors, including Américo Paredes, Rudolfo Anaya, Gloria E. Anzaldúa, Manuel Munoz, ire’ne lara silva, and more.
Ellis explores the curandera in relationship to decoloniality, bioethics, and the topic of healing while recognizing the limitations and spiritual shortcomings of Western medicine. Ellis argues that our contemporary western health-care system does not know how to fully grapple with illnesses that patients face. Ellis reads the curandera’s perennial representation as an ongoing example of decolonial love useful for deconstructing narrow definitions of health and personhood, and for grappling with the effects of neoliberalism and colonialism on the health-care industry.
