Reviews

""Barrera's collection provides us a torrent of essential wisdom from writers well known and newly discovered, one that moves us beyond borders and binaries. Not all contributors are Texas-affiliated, but many are, and it is refreshing and revealing to hear these voices represent gender, land, place, ecology, and embodiment in Texas. These are much needed perspective on our world.""--Alex Hunt, author of Postcolonial Green: Environmental Politics and World Narratives--Alex Hunt ""This carefully curated collection of fiction, poetry, and narrative offers diverse perspectives showcasing women's complex relationships with their specific landscapes and with nature more generally--nature as living, sentient being, as partner and foundation. We Are Nature Defending Itself reminds us of our radical interconnectedness with this beautiful planet from which we've emerged and to which we are entirely indebted. I look forward to sharing this book with my students, colleagues, and friends.""--AnaLouise Keating, author of The Anzaldúan Theory Handbook--AnaLouise Keating
