Borderlands / La Frontera: The New Mestiza 5th Edition

By Anzaldúa, Gloria

This is the fifth edition of Borderlands/ La Frontera. Rooted in Gloria Anzaldâua's experience as a Chicana, a lesbian, an activist, and a writer, the essays and poems in Borderlands/La Frontera: The New Mestiza 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
