Writing the Continental Divides: Meditations on Indigenism, Chicanismo, and Planetary Consciousness explores the paradigmatic problem haunting North American consciousness: continental divides. This "wounding" along with other modes of divide and conquer gestures, such as nationalism, ethnicism, tribalism, sexism, heterosexism, and religious chauvinism, are grounded in this imaginary-yet-enforced border construction. This book examines ways in which imposed identities serve to foster and maintain the illusion of separation and impede efforts at founding an anti-imperialist coalitional politics. But in addition to its critique of wounding, this book also suggests ways we might heal as we move from coloniality to decoloniality to, ultimately, a reunifying planetary consciousness.
