The contributors question the artificially imposed separation of the human and nonhuman, human dominance over place, and the concept of progress measured in strictly economic terms. They also examine how the notion of ecology has been discursively framed to justify colonial systems of power. With its integration of ancestral, Afro-Latin American, and Latinx perspectives, this collection proposes new worldviews that emphasize marginalized voices and contest modernity's troubled legacy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eEcologies of Resistance\u003c\/i\u003e blurs the lines that have traditionally separated artistic expression from political activism and theory. Its innovative cross-disciplinary approach and exploration of alternative practices and theories from Latin America and Latinx contexts enriches contemporary ecocritical studies and the quest for a world that upholds plural forms of being.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eIlka Kressner\u003c\/b\u003e is Associate Professor of Spanish and Chair of the Department of Languages, Literatures, and Cultures at the University at Albany, State University of New York. \u003cb\u003eAna María Mutis\u003c\/b\u003e is Associate Professor in the Department of Modern Languages and Literatures at Trinity University. \u003cb\u003eElizabeth M.
