It provides a tapestry of testimonios--from grandmothers, mothers, daughters, and sisters--who explore what it means to be Central American women in the United States. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Through the practice of testimonio, contributors create intergenerational dialogues between mothers and daughters, engage with Indigenous oral traditions, and reflect on the violent histories of war in Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, and Nicaragua. The volume is organized around five themes: political histories, migration, gender and sexuality, navigating institutions, and healing. Within each theme contributors tackle a range of issues, including Central American political histories, healing, grief, Indigenous knowledge, memory, trauma, post-traumatic growth, organizing, creativity, and agency. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e This anthology spans genres such as poetry, essay, and visual art to present diverse perspectives, including Indigenous, Afro-Indigenous, queer, and working-class voices. An intervention that centers gendered experiences and challenges oppressive structures, this volume celebrates the solidarity, cultural memory, and healing found within transnational ties. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eContributors\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Leisy J.
