Word Mingas is an encompassing study of oralitures--multilayered
cultural knowledge shared through the power of orality--and written
literatures by authors from Colombia and other regions in the
hemisphere who self-identify as Indigenous. In consequential
dialogue with the most recent theories of decoloniality and
interculturality, the book weaves and compares two threads of
literary critique Rocha Vivas names as oralitegraphies and mirrored
visions. The study focuses on texts produced from the early 1990s
to the present, and offers productive avenues to discuss,
understand, and foster dialogue with the wide array of
symbolic-literary systems of the original peoples. Rocha Vivas
offers a valuable contribution to the much-needed dialogue on the
basic rights of self-representation, self-determination, and the
coexistence of multiple systems of representation and identity.
Suicide is a topic that many people are very uncomfortable with.
However, when someone you love dies in this manner, it's a topic
that is thrust upon you and survival is something that you may not
even care about. I offer a look at my personal travel through this
scary odyssey. A life is a precious thing and we don't always
realize this until it leaves with a resounding crash. When my
husband died I read as many books on suicide as I could find. Some
were too clinical to offer any comfort and some were just too
scary! I decided that a personal account would be invaluable. In
today's world suicide will touch most people in one form or
another.
