Alejandria Fights Back! ¡La lucha de Alejandria! (2021)

Part detective, part organizer, Alejandria discovers the power of community in order to save her neighborhood.

A children’s book that aims to challenge dominant narratives about land, housing, and development through the lens of those who are often most impacted by displacement but least heard: young people.

Mucha Muchacha, Too Much Girl (2015)

The word “vos/z,” spoken in Salvadoran Spanish, means “you” and also means “voice.” If the word ends in “s” it means “you”; ending in “z” it means “voice.” Leticia Hernández-Linares’s poetry comes in somewhere between the S and the Z, and it is, like bread, like music, for everyone. The way Hernández-Linares shares her stories speaks to the hybridity of the cultural and literary histories she hails from.
