Paper doi abstract bibtex In the narrative Silko claims was in part dictated to her by the ancestors, networks of resistance to colonialist capitalism are symbolized by the intersecting forces of the Army of the Homeless, a rag-tag group of lucidly crazy Vietnam vets of various races fighting gentrification of their Tucson neighborhood, and the Army of Justice and Redistribution, an indigenous-led band of insurrectionists emerging from the Chiapas region of Mexico (several years before the real-life Zapatistas came into existence).\n The snake was looking south, in the direction from which the twin brothers and the people would come (763). Amid the growing discourse surrounding global climate change, increasing awareness of global poverty, and a deep crisis in market capitalism, environmental justice cultural criticism faces an opportune moment to foreground decolonizing processes.
