Abstract
Inspired by the 'feminist geniuses' of the methodology and critical inquiry of Black radical traditions traced in the genealogy of Cedric Robinson's scholarship, and invoking a decolonial analysis through writings of radical Chicana/Mexicana intellectuals, this essay honors the life, struggles and radical imaginations of Chicana feminist writer, political theorist and organizer Magdalena Mora (1952-1981). Reading regional US 19th century histories - in the south and the southwest next to each other, and juxtaposing these with late 20th century social movement activity in the US southwest, traces trajectories of the dreams of dignity and freedom we carry in our hearts to make real in our lives.
