Description
Summary:Here the story is told in the first person of the muxe condition, something more than a third gender, in the Zapotec cultural tradition of the southeast of Mexico. It is the narrative of a decolonial process of the affirmation of diverse subjectivities, where the gender, ethnicity, and politics of the emancipation of diasporic bodies intersect. Within this reflective testimony flows a spirituality of liberation, with powerful words and metaphors of being for and with other subjectivities in resistance, rebellion, and hope.
