Kelli D. Zaytoun takes a profound and inclusive approach to selfhood, creativity, scholarship, healing, coalition-building, and activism, drawing inspiration from Gloria Anzaldúa's thought. Zaytoun centers his attention on Anzaldúa's concept of the nagual/shapeshifter, a central idea in nagualismo. This groundbreaking theory of subjectivity explores the dynamic interplay between "inner work" and public actions, empowering individuals to play significant roles in social and transformative justice work. Zaytoun's meticulous exploration of the naguala and Nahua metaphysics brings much-needed attention to Anzaldúa's overlooked contribution to the study of subjectivity. The result is a groundbreaking feminist-focused work that spans multiple disciplines and aims to bridge the gap between academia and everyday life and community.
An original and thought-provoking analysis, Shapeshifting Subjects delves into unpublished archival material to apply Anzaldúa's ideas to fresh areas of thought and action. Through this lens, Zaytoun offers a transformative perspective that challenges traditional notions of identity and encourages individuals to embrace their full potential for social change.
