Cutthroat, A Journal Of The Arts and The Black Earth Insti- tute collaborated to publish this historic collection of writings about Chicanx culture. The writings span all topics from the rasquache to the refined. In these pages is writing that goes deep into Chicanx culture and reveals heritage in new ways. This is work that challenges, that is irreverent, that is defiant and inventive. That is Puro Chicanx. The idea of Puro Chicanx is rooted in Mexican ancestral heritage, is about attitude and may overlap with other Latinx cultures. Our focus is on Chicanx culture that has been a large part of this country for hundreds of years and is still under-explored and understood only at a distance by the dominant culture.
The Climate Crisis affects all of us. It is critical we address this. Published by Cutthroat, a Journal of the Arts and The Black Earth Institute, this timely anthology brings together a hundred plus poets, fiction and nonfiction writers, including Rita Dove, Joy Harjo, Linda Hogan, Martin Espada, Naomi Shihab Nye, Richard Jackson, Camille T. Dungy, J. Drew Lanham, Patricia Spears Jones, Patricia Jabbeh Wesley, Octavio Quintanilla, Brenda Peterson and more to discuss Climate Change and its affects on human and nonhuman populations, on urban and wild environments. Writings deal with Western wildfires, Eastern floods, rising sea temperatures and acidification, the disappearance of glaciers as well as also how the Climate Crisis intersects with social issues like racism, poverty, sexism, etc. This is not a doom & gloom collection, but one that aims at finding solutions to the Climate Crisis. All profits from sales will be donated to nonprofit groups aimed at preserving endangered species, such as grizzly bears, wolves, northern jaguars and large wild cats, and orcas.
