Organizing around such issues as police brutality and mass incarceration, these collectives--two of which are discussed in this book, one mixed-gender, and the other women-only--turned to their often obscured Mesoamerican ancestry to find new resources for building a different future for themselves and subsequent generations. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDrawing on extensive fieldwork conducted in Salinas, \u003ci\u003eHealing Movements\u003c\/i\u003e reveals how these communities have taken shape in large part through a conscious effort to uplift Chicanx-Indigenous culture and ceremonial practices. By tapping into their Indigeneity, the members of these collectives access a wealth of new resources to shape their future, opening up novel ways to organize and build strong relational ties that are noteworthy to anyone invested in abolitionist work.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Megan S.
