I. DUlfano & Kenneth A. Loparo 
Indigenous Feminist Narratives 
I/We: Wo(men) of an(Other) Way

This book analyzes the literary representation of Indigenous women in Latin American letters from colonization to the twentieth century, arguing that contemporary theorization of Indigenous feminism deconstructs denigratory imagery and offers a (re)signification, (re)semantization and reinvigoration of what it means to be an Indigenous woman.
