About Revista N’oj
Revista N’oj is an online publication of the Latinx Research Center at University of California, Berkeley. The magazine centers interdisciplinary, trans-Americas scholarship and creative work by writers, poets, performers, and artists whose work advances intersectional, feminist, anti-racist, and decolonial conversations. Rooted in Indigenous, Black, and Afro-Indigenous thought and movements of the Americas, Revista N’oj amplifies voices often excluded from mainstream media and academic spaces. Revista N’oj is currently on hiatus, and the archived issues remain available below.
Revista N’oj: Decolonizing Art & Praxis in the Time of Covid-19
Fall 2020
The 2nd issue of Revista N’oj brings together articles, think pieces, research and poetry exploring the ways in which art can offer visions and proposals for working toward a world without racism, patriarchy, classism, etc. This issue was inspired by the long summer of 2020; a summer that was not only jolted by the rise of the Covid-19 pandemic but also roused by the community’s response to the murder of George Floyd.
Revista N’oj: The Body
Spring 2023
The 5th Issue of Revista N’oj focuses on the internal wisdom and knowledge of the body. Building off of the namesake of the revista, N’oj, a Mayan Kaqchikel word meaning “that which is not seen but exists” and refers to internal wisdom, this issue posits the body as knowledge and as resilience.

Revista N’oj: Homage and Legacy
Spring 2020
This inaugural edition of Revista No’j is dedicated to paying homage to the radical traditions that have long served as beacons for our ethical, intellectual, social and political activism.
