Here is the reading.

This week we begin a new textbook, Light In The Dark/Luz En Lo Oscuro: Rewriting Identity, Spirituality, Reality by Gloria Anzaldúa and edited by AnaLouise Keating. I introduced both Anzaldúa and Keating to you in an earlier week. This book is described by the publisher, Duke University Press as:

Written during the last decade of her life, Light in the Dark represents the culmination of Gloria E. Anzaldúa’s mature thought and the most comprehensive presentation of her philosophy. Throughout, Anzaldúa weaves personal narratives into deeply engaging theoretical readings to comment on numerous contemporary issues—including the September 11 attacks, neocolonial practices in the art world, and coalitional politics. She valorizes subaltern forms and methods of knowing, being, and creating that have been marginalized by Western thought, and theorizes her writing process as a fully embodied artistic and political practice. Resituating Anzaldúa’s work within Continental philosophy and new materialism, Light in the Dark takes Anzaldúan scholarship in new directions.

We are watching two awesome videos this week. The first video is with Iyanla Vanzant, writer and public speaker. You can learn more about her here https://iyanla.co/about/ (Links to an external site.).

The second and third videos are with Thich Nhat Hanh, a global spiritual leader, poet, and peace activist. You can learn more about him here Thich Nhat Hanh Memorial Honoring our beloved teacher (Links to an external site.) https://plumvillage.org/thich-nhat-hanh/
