Full Stop Quarterly: Fall 2023
Communities in . . . different parts of the world face connected forms of political repression, which are themselves buttressed by racial and religious chauvinism, the political apparatus of the nation-state, and neoliberal free trade agreements. . . . In these land-based struggles, cultural production has functioned as a unique political tool.

Incendiary . . . an innovative subversion of the male gaze in a dark comedy packaging.
