Latinas and other minorities are often resilient in silence. While working on this collaborative special issue, the world and its people’s resilience was tested by the coronavirus pandemic. While keeping socially distant, communities and countries were called to come together in solidarity. Their charge to bravery, strength, and faith in the face of uncertainty is not unlike the daily charge shared by Latinas/os in the United States. Particularly for those in the academy, both faculty and students, this charge was a well-rehearsed hymn. Connecting with Yosso’s (2005) concept of community cultural wealth (CCW), we planned this edited issue as a way to bring to light the structural and social resilience that Latina/o community members rely on when navigating what is often a complicated reality. The authors in this issue recognize the value and power of CCW in the lives and legacies of Latinas/os, shining light on the dark and quiet spaces where the resilient Latina/o is often found. While tragic, the pandemic that became the context for this collaboration provided a backdrop to understand and engage with a broader notion of resilience. In stark relief we can see the pointed and perennial resiliency of Latinas inside and outside of the activities of the epoch.
