Rooted in Gloria Anzaldúa's experience as a Chicana, a lesbian, an activist, and a writer, the essays and poems in this volume profoundly challenged, and continue to challenge, how we think about identity. Borderlands / La Frontera remaps our understanding of what a "border" is, presenting 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 twenty-fifth anniversary edition features a new introduction by scholars Norma Cantú (University of Texas at San Antonio) and Aída Hurtado (University of California at Santa Cruz) as well as a revised critical bibliography.
Gloria Anzaldúa was a Chicana-tejana-lesbian-feminist poet, theorist, and fiction writer from south Texas. She was the editor of the critical anthology Making Face/Making Soul: Haciendo Caras (Aunt Lute Books, 1990), co-editor of This Bridge Called My Back: Writings by Radical Women of Color, and winner of the Before Columbus Foundation American Book Award. She taught creative writing, Chicano studies, and feminist studies at University of Texas, San Francisco State University, Vermont College of Norwich University, and University of California Santa Cruz. Anzaldúa passed away in 2004 and was honored around the world for shedding visionary light on the Chicana experience by receiving the National Association for Chicano Studies Scholar Award in 2005. Gloria was also posthumously awarded her doctoral degree in literature from the University of California, Santa Cruz. A number of scholarships and book awards, including the Anzaldúa Scholar Activist Award and the Gloria E. Anzaldúa Award for Independent Scholars, are awarded in her name every year.

野心很大,也的確特彆重要,不隻是chicanx文學的經典,對美國(和墨西哥)從曆史到現狀,從移民到身份政治,從女性主義到酷兒,從身體邊界到疾病研究……這些大話題都能有所啓發。本書提供的視角綜閤瞭我生活在這片土地的許多碎片感受,必須迴到西班牙殖民,迴到阿茲特蘭。希望齣中譯。
评分It feels... uneasy to stare into the struggle of an Other. It would make so much more sense to see "borderlands" not as "bridge" but as "open wounds", a means of rendering the racial history into workable mass (leading towards a promise of redemption). 上次讀這本書是四年前在UCB Chicano Studies的課上,從沒在任何一堂課上感覺更像一個unwelcomed outsider。
评分太好看啦
评分作者還是落入瞭她自己討厭的窠臼。
评分borderland mind, a mixture of writing
