Mujeres de Maiz (MdM) is an L.A.-based Indigenous Xicana–led spiritual artist-activist organization and movement by and for women and feminists of color. The contributors to this edited volume weave together their stories to collectively document MdM’s twenty-five-year herstory and its larger sociopolitical context. Intergenerational contributors include emerging and professional writers, scholars, visual and performance artists, and community organizers. They trace MdM’s genealogy, providing critical insight into emerging definitions of Xicanisma and contemporary grassroots feminist praxis.
