Borderlands/La Frontera: The New Mestiza

Borderlands/La Frontera: The New Mestiza by Gloria Anzaldúa. paperback edition. ISBN: 9781879960749.

Cultural Writing. Essays. Latino/Latina Studies. Rooted in Gloria Anzalduas experience as a Chicana, a lesbian, an activist, and a writer, the groundbreaking essays and poems in this volume profoundly challenged how we think about identity. BORDERLANDS/LA FRONTERA remapped our understanding of what a "border" is, seeing it not as a simple divide between here and there, us and them, but as a psychic, social, and cultural terrain that we inhabit, and that inhabits all of us. This twentieth-anniversary edition features new commentaries from prominent activists, artists, and teachers on the legacy of Gloria Anzalduas visionary work.
