National Women's Studies Association/University of Illinois Press First Book Prize, 2013 "Congratulations to Christina Holmes for this stimulating study of Chicana and Mexican-American women's writing, art making, spirituality, and organizing for 'social and ecological justice, including the ways they overlap and are conceptualized as one and the same.'"
Signs "The book demonstrates Holmes's in-depth interdisciplinary research and admirable ... Read moreskills in weaving three major areas of inquiry together and clearly identifying and defining organizing concepts and key terms."
Hypatia Reviews Online   "Holmes offers us new ways to consider what she calls performative ecological intersubjectivities that emerge from Chicana and Mexican American women's creative thinking, art-making, and spirituality, as well as from their commitments to social and ecological justice."
Irene Lara, coeditor of Fleshing the Spirit: Spirituality and Activism in Chicana, Latina, and Indigenous Women's Lives "This brilliant, accessible, and complex intervention should be read not just by those interested in environmentalism and feminism, but by all transnational, decolonizing, and materialist thinkers and doers, whether scholars, students, or activists."
