Merging waves of feminist thought from established and emerging Mexican women writers, Tsunami arrives with seismic, groundbreaking force. Featuring personal essay, manifesto, creative nonfiction, and poetry, Tsunami gathers the multiplicity of voices being raised in Mexico today against patriarchy and its buried structures. With trans voices, Indigenous voices, Afro-Latinx voices, voices from within and outside academic institutions, and voices spanning generations, this anthology, finally translated into English, asserts plurality as a political priority, as seen in the title itself. Tsunami is the combined force of the three feminist waves, together with the marea verde ("green wave") of protests that have swept through Latin America in recent years, as well as waves made by insurgent feminisms at the margins of public discourse. Tackling gender violence, community building, #MeToo, Indigenous rights, and more, these writings rock the core of what we know feminism to be, dismantling its Eurocentric roots and directing its critical thrust towards current affairs in Mexico today.
