Abstract

Our essay sketches resistant, transnational, and translanguaging traditions of the Rio Grande Valley (RGV), Aztlán and conjugates them with our critical curricular-pedagogical praxis. After an introductory section, we frame our essay between transnational intellectual traditions and critical place-based pedagogies. Following our framings, we provide a brief overview of resistant RGV traditions and render three of the tradition’s books. Our discussion draws out a trio of historicized bioregional concepts that inform our learning, teaching, and research in the RGV. Finally, in our conclusion, we return to the notion of critical curricular-pedagogical praxis to advance the decolonizing imperative in critical pedagogies.
