Today   on KPFA Radio’s Women’s Magazine Lisa Dettmer and Kate Raphael talk to two Israeli spiritually informed Jewish activists and scholars about  what  the role  and effects are  of trauma are in living and growing up in the apartheid state of  Israel  on both their own lives, and the lives of others in Israel/Palestine and how that trauma and the exploitation of that trauma has supported the militaristic and colonialist Zionist state of Israel.  And we discuss  how racism and white supremacy are intrinsically part  of the  colonialist  Zionist project in Israel  from its founding and how healing from trauma is one of the important steps to peace.
We talk to Meital Yaniv  who was born in Israel, and is learning how to be in a human form. they do things with words, with moving and still images, with threads, with bodies in front of bodies, with the Earth. they are a death laborer tending to a prayer for the liberation of the land of Palestine and the lands of our bodies. they keep Fires and submerge themselves in Ocean and Sea Water often. yaniv is learning to listen to the Waters, birdsongs, caretakers, and ancestors as they walk as a guest on the home and gathering place of the Cahuilla-ʔívil̃uwenetem Meytémak, Tongva-Kizh Nation, Luiseño-Payómkawichum, and Serrano-Yuhaaviatam/Maarenga’yam.yaniv is the author of bloodlines. They make offerings through true name collective.

And we talk to Hadar Cohen who  is an Arab Jewish scholar, mystic and artist. She is the founder of Malchut, a spiritual skill building school teaching Jewish mysticism and direct experience of God. She cultivated her own curriculum on the cosmology of creation and teaches it through her training God Fellowship. Malchut is also home for her Jewish Mystical School that includes a library of her classes and a community platform for connection. She is a 10th-generation Jerusalemite with lineage roots also in Syria, Kurdistan, Iraq and Iran.

Today Women’s Magazine  host Lisa Dettmer talks to guests who celebrate and remember the groundbreaking anthology, Chicana Lesbians: The Girls our Mothers Warned us About. Published in 1991, the anthology is the first critical and creative book to specifically address the complex lives and challenges of Chicana lesbians. Described by Amazon as “the most important book ever published about Chicana lesbians,” the anthology included both established and emerging Chicana lesbian voices of the time who contributed poetry, testimonios, and essays. In their work, contributors considered the experiences of Chicana lesbians in regard to prominent Chicana feminist discussions while adding their original perspectives that sought to deconstruct dominant ideas about sexuality as it overlapped with race, gender, class, and other markers of difference. Importantly, the anthology also addressed the rampant lesbo-phobia that was intricately interwoven with patriarchy, racism, and classism. Now, over 30 years later, Chicana lesbian scholars are re-examining this preeminent text in the Journal of Lesbian Studies as a special two volume issue called “Re-Engaging the Iconic Text ‘The Girls Our Mothers Warned Us About.’” Today we are joined by 4 lesbiana and queer scholars to help us think about this pivotal book and the critical issues that it raised. We are joined by Liliana C. Gonzalez, Assistant Professor at Cal State University, Northridge, & Stacy I. Macias, Associate Professor at Cal State University, Long Beach, who are the co-editors of the 2-volume special issue of the Journal of Lesbian Studies. We are also joined by Carla Trujillo, who is the visionary editor of the original book, Chicana Lesbians: The Girls Our Mothers Warned Us About. Finally, we are joined by Ellie Hernández, Associate Professor at UC Santa Barbara, who is a contributor to both the 1991 anthology and to the current special issue re-engaging and honoring this formative text. We will look at the significance of these writings to queer and feminist of color scholarship and movements and to Chicana lesbian lives.
