"Developing her earlier work on 'methodologies of the spirit' and building on Anzaldúan thought, Brenda Sendejo draws on her more than fifteen years of building relationships with incredible Chicana/Tejana spiritual activists doing their healing soul work alongside their social justice work to offer her readers the first single-authored book to focus on spiritual activism as a liberatory praxis. Uniquely blending Chicana feminist autohistoria, ethnography, and plática methodologies with cultural analysis, Sendejo writes from her bodymindspirit to uplift hope-filled conocimientos as critical lessons for navigating ongoing political arrebatos. Reading this book will fuel us with 'spirit stories' as creative strategies of remembrance, transformation, and persistence, inspiring us to continue our work with radical love."--Irene Lara, co-editor of Fleshing the Spirit: Spirituality and Activism in Chicana, Latina, and Indigenous Women's Lives "Brenda Sendejo's book is foundational scholarship for anyone seeking deep conocimiento and understanding of the political, cultural, and spiritual influence of Texas Chicanas of and beyond the movement era. Through almost two decades worth of testimonios, ethnographic research, and convivencias with these spiritual activists, Sendejo documents the decolonizing, spiritualized activism of Chicana movement-era activists who have continued to do healing and spirit work as educators, community advocates, artists, organizers, writers, intellectuals, and agents of change. The author draws from the rich intellectual, praxis-oriented, and spiritual genealogy of Chicana feminist activists to examine their life journeys of 'making soul' and how they've forever shaped our worlds through new liberatory subjectivities and ways of being in the world."--Lilliana P. Saldaña, co-editor of Latinas and the Politics of Urban Spaces.
