Insurrectionist Wisdoms: Toward a North American Indigenous Pastoral Theology (Lexington Books, 2022) uses practical theological and anthro/gynopological methods to analyze the situation of working-class Maya mexicanas working on the assembly line of a multinational corporation in Yucatán, México. Through in-depth, firsthand interviews, Insurrectionist Wisdoms brings to light the exploitation of women of color by large, multimillion-dollar corporations and delves into the ways these women can, and do, fight back. Drawing on a decolonial approach to pastoral theology and feminism, the book proposes Lxs Hijxs de Maíz as an image for pastoral care and counseling.
