Nahua writers: community utopias and practices about possible futures in the Sierra de Zongolica, Mexico.

  • Carlos Alberto Casas Mendoza

This text explores the processes of formation of two Nahua writers' collectives from the Sierra de Zongolica who, through language and literary creation, seek to build community and utopian projects. In the midst of an environment of high marginalization, discrimination and persistent struggle, these writers have generated practices and forms of collective organization that, from historical and social circumstances almost always adverse, seek to create projects for the future and social transformation. Through oral history and ethnography, the article analyzes their trajectories and asks how they construct utopias and futures. The article focuses on the creative practices of these two collectives by framing them within the debate on the processes of community building and utopian projects of the future.
