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.

最近看过最爱的一本,探讨了multicultural, non-normal, non-alien language, 以及how to think away from binary models with “a tolerance for ambiguity”

野心很大,也的确特别重要,不只是chicanx文学的经典,对美国(和墨西哥)从历史到现状,从移民到身份政治,从女性主义到酷儿,从身体边界到疾病研究……这些大话题都能有所启发。本书提供的视角综合了我生活在这片土地的许多碎片感受,必须回到西班牙殖民,回到阿兹特兰。希望出中译。

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 work... 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). 上次读这本书是四年前在UCB Chicano Studies的课上,从没在任何一堂课上感觉更像一个unwelcomed outsider。 (展开)
