Cherrie Moraga's A Xicana Codex of Changing Consciousness is a Hope fulfilled. After the passing of Gloria Anzaldua, Chicana/o studies suffered something like an eclipse of the moon but here comes radical, creative light into our lives and scholarship once more. Moraga's intellectual and emotional courage about sexuality, race, QUEERNESS, and feminist energy shows us that Barack Obama and all Americans also live in the time of Latinos and Xicanas. Underlying these essays is the creative question 'how can this new demography of many colors and genders be cultivated into a new democracy?' David Carrasco, author of Religions of Mesoamerica: Cosmovision and Ceremonial Centers
