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.

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.
