Borderlands/La Frontera by Gloria Anzaldua

Borderlands/La Frontera

The New Mestiza

Gloria Anzaldua

Rooted in Gloria Anzaldua’s 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 Anzaldua’s visionary work.
