Title: Body Counts on the Mexico-U.S. Border: Feminicidio, Reification, and the Theft of Mexicana Subjectivity
Abstract: Since 1993, residents from the colonias and feminist activists of Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua, have denounced a campaign of feminicidio in the border city that has rendered poor migrant women vulnerable to gender violence.

Title: Tongues of Fire: A Tribute to Gloria E. Anzaldúa
Abstract: Activist Notebooks are spaces of expression, deliberation, and dialogue for the many ways we engage in and incite multiple forms of activism in our lives. As an occasional section of Chicana/Latina Studies, it is a call to organizers, activists, writers, artists, and
teachers for critical reflection and collective conversation about the social justice issues emerging from our classrooms, union halls, street corners, or bus stops. Páginas de los cuadernos militantes will include accounts from the field of organizing and reports from gatherings and conferences. We invite you to share your thoughts or observations by sending in unas páginas de tu cuaderno militante.
