Teaching with Cuentos Combativos: Reading for Decolonial Futures

Abstract

Transnational children's texts can bring communities together, forcing us to reflect critically on our past, present, and future, and pushing us to action. In this column, we propose that texts that do this form of activist work are cuentos combativos and that all teachers and researchers can leverage cuentos combativos for critical reflection, ReconoceR, and action for justice.
