Cover of Visual Disobedience: Art and Decoloniality in Central America by Kency Cornejo. Cover features a photograph of an individual with long black hair looking out over a yellow cornfield. The person wears a blue jacket with various words stitched into it in vibrant colors. The sky is blue above the field with a few scattered groups of puffy, white clouds.
