The Life of Emma Tenayuca
The full adult biography of Emma Tenayuca, considered by many to be the
most significant Mexican-American civil rights leader in U.S. History,
researched and co-authored by Carmen Tafolla and social justice lawyer
Sharyll Teneyuca, Emma’s niece. The amazing and almost-larger than
life labor organizer, orator, scholar, community activist, educator and
feminist, Emma Tenayuca, who in the 1930’s, at the tender age of
21, helped organize the first successful large-scale strike of Mexican-Americans
in the United States, has long been hidden from history.
Rebozos y Voces
This moving exhibit of 15 original art paintings by Catalina Gárate
and poetry by Carmen Tafolla has toured San Jose, El Paso, Austin, and
McAllen, speaking to the universal experiences of womanhood, told through
the rebozos and the voices of the rural Mexican indigenous woman. Now,
a beautiful coffee table book captures these haunting paintings, as well
as poems in English and Spanish exploring La Soledad, La Curandera,
La Tormenta, La Espera, La Bruja, and El Rebozo Rojo (shown
on home page) among others.
