Borderlands/La Frontera
A Glbt, Theory, Queer book. Wild tongues can't be tamed, they can only be cut out. Gloria E. Anzalda,...
First published in 1987, "Borderlands" has become a classic in Chicano border studies, feminist theory, gay and lesbian studies, and cultural studies. Anzaldua, a Chicana native of Texas, explores in prose and poetry the murky, precarious existence of those living on the frontier between cultures and languages. Writing in a lyrical mixture of Spanish and English that is her unique heritage, she meditates on the condition of Chicanos in Anglo culture, women in Hispanic culture, and lesbians in the straight world. Her essays and poems range over broad territory, moving from the plight of undocumented migrant workers to memories of her grandmother, from Aztec religion to the agony of writing. Anzaldua is a rebellious and willful talent who recognizes that life on the border,"life in the shadows,"is vital territory for both literature and civilization. Venting her anger on all oppressors of people who are culturally or sexually different, the author has produced a powerful document that belongs in all collections with emphasis on Hispanic American or feminist issues.

Anzalda, Borderlands/La Frontera: The New Mestiza The U.S-Mexican border es una herida abierta where the Third World grates against the first and bleeds. And before a scab forms it hemorrhages again, the lifeblood of two worlds merging to form a third country a border culture. Borders are set up to define the places that are safe and unsafe, to distinguish us from them. A border is a dividing line, a narrow strip along a steep edge. A borderland is a vague and undetermined place created by the emotional residue of an unnatural boundary. It is in a constant state of transition. The prohibited and forbidden...
Borderlands/La Frontera is supposed to be an important Latina feminist work, and I'm sure it was groundbreaking when it came out and important to many people now. I didn't really enjoy the poetry (half the book) or the experimental writing forms (a good part of the other half). I really enjoyed some parts of the book, such as Gloria...
