Synopsis	Reading the articles by Yásnaya Aguilar compiled in this volume, as well as the many comments on social media that accompany and enrich them, is a pleasure that I wholeheartedly recommend to readers. Throughout these texts, as entertaining as they are refreshing, it is clear that Yásnaya Aguilar has been able to see beyond impositions and violence, driven by her deep passion for languages, for linguistics, for literature, to go beyond the confines of her native Ayuujk and her learned Spanish, to approach the most widely spoken languages in the world, such as Russian, but also the countless indigenous languages that throughout the planet are marginalized, threatened and, sometimes, on the verge of extinction. In his unpretentious use of the plain Mexican dialect of Castilian, the constant generosity of his style, his humor and sincerity stand out, which allows him to construct a defense as passionate as it is reasonable, as rigorous as it is entertaining, of the value of indigenous languages, of cultural plurality, of the vitality of the traditions of our native peoples. This clarity also gives greater force to his denunciations against linguistic discrimination, against the contempt for indigenous languages and against the arrogance of the defenders of Spanish as the national language. Written over the course of a decade, this book is destined to be an exponent of an authentic blossoming and renaissance of contemporary thought in indigenous languages. (Federico Navarrete)
