Draws on Nahua concepts to explore Nahua literary production and contributions to cultural activism from the 1980s to the present. The Serpent's Plumes analyzes contemporary Nahua cultural production, principally bilingual Nahuatl-Spanish xochitlajtoli, or "poetry," written from the 1980s to the present. Adam W.
