Mira como una mujer y pinta como un hombre. Eso decían de la vanguardista francesa Émilie Charmy en pleno siglo XX, o de la española Elena Brockman, una de las pocas artistas con obra en el Museo del Prado. Esta frase condensa muchas de las claves para entender la difícil aceptación en torno a la actividad artística femenina a lo largo de la historia. Ese silencio es posterior a sus creaciones: si tras las guerras la historia la escriben los vencedores, los manuales de arte solo se escribieron desde una perspectiva masculina.

The gospel of Jesus has not always been good news for Native Americans. The history of North America is marred by atrocities committed against Native peoples. Indigenous cultures were erased in the name of Christianity. As a result, to this day few Native Americans are followers of Jesus. However, despite the far-reaching effects of colonialism, some Natives have forged culturally authentic ways to follow the way of Jesus. In his final work, Richard Twiss provides a contextualized Indigenous expression of the Christian faith among the Native communities of North America.

White boys and men are dangerous. White boys and men are struggling. Both of these statements are staggeringly true in America today. By far, most large-scale mass shooters are white men.
