| Description: | Draws on Nahua concepts to explore Nahua literary production and contributions to cultural activism from the 1980s to the present.2025 CHOICE Outstanding Academic TitleSilver Medal Co-Winner of the 2025 International Latino Book Awards, in the category of Best Academic Themed Book, College LevelThe Serpent's Plumes analyzes contemporary Nahua cultural production, principally bilingual Nahuatl-Spanish xochitlajtoli, or'poetry,'written from the 1980s to the present. Adam W. Coon draws on Nahua perspectives as a decolonizing theoretical framework to argue that Nahua writers deploy unique worldviews-namely, ixtlamatilistli ('knowledge with the face,'which highlights the value of personal experiences); yoltlajlamikilistli ('knowledge with the heart,'which underscores the importance of affective intelligence); and tlaixpan ('that which is in front,'which presents the past as lying ahead of a subject rather than behind). The views of ixtlamatilistli, yoltlajlamikilistli, and tlaixpan are key in Nahua struggles and effectively challenge those who attempt to marginalize Native knowledge production. |
