Riot of Roses Publishing House is thrilled to partner with editors Scott Russell Duncan and Jenny Irizary for this spectacular codex of Xicanx writings. Codex I coming September 16, 2025. Codex II coming February 2026.
What does it really mean to be a Xicana? This anthology offers a space for theexploration and cultivation of a proud Xicana identity. The work herein deliversmessages about race, culture, class, economy, sexuality and spirituality within historical, political and personal contexts. Somos Xicanas echoes the collective voice of the Xicana community as a whole, while simultaneously celebrating the co-existence of multiple subjectivities alive within each of the contributions. These are a few of the varied lenses through which readers may appreciate the multiple layers of complex identities that make up what it means to be a Xicana, as expressed through the writings of Xicanas themselves.
