CouRaGeouS Cuentos: A Journal of Counternarratives

CouRaGeouS Cuentos is a journal publication by the Department of Critical Race, Gender & Sexuality Studies (CRGS) at Humboldt State University. The works published in this journal are by students who took the course Ethnic Studies 107: Chican@/Latinx Lives. This year, students from Fortuna High School who worked with the Promotorx Transformative Educators Program also submitted their writing. Together, students want to make their stories, their counternarratives, avail-able to their families, their communities, and any other students who could relate to their experiences.

The journal is published annually by students in the spring and fall semesters of each calendar year. The editing of the works is a collective effort by students in the class, students in Ethnic Studies 280: Courageous Cuentos Production, and the instructor of Ethnic Studies 107: Chican@/Latinx Lives. Every student in the class has the opportunity to publish their work and do so on a voluntary basis. Some students submit more than one entry, in addition to visual art that reflects central themes in each year’s submissions.
