América Latina / Latin America: Again (and again)
In 2006, ephemera published its first special issue dedicated to Latin America. It aimed ‘to inform readers across the globe about the organization of the ongoing struggles and resistances and the tensions lived and experienced by so many Latin Americans’. We tried to make present the multiplicity of social movements on the continent, avoiding ‘a naïve monovoice and an over-optimistic view of the intensity of movements throughout the continent’ (Misoczky, 2006: 228).
Repair matters
...
She said: What is history?
And he said: History is an angel
being blown backwards into the future
He said: History is a pile of debris

To repair the things that have been broken

And the storm keeps blowing the angel backwards into the future
And this storm, this storm is called Progress

From radical black feminism to postfeminist hashtags: Re-claiming intersectionality
Attend me, hold me in your muscular flowering arms, protect me from throwing any part of myself away.
