Experimental,
inventive, provocative and above all visionary, Gloria Anzaldúa's
work is widely recognized among scholars of Chicano/Latino, Gay
and Lesbian, Women's, Postcolonial, Ethnic and Cultural Studies
as a foundational elaboration of the politics and poetics of cultural
hybridity. Both Borderlands/La Frontera and Making
Face/Making Soul: Haciendo Caras are all about understanding
the complex and competing social, political and cultural forces
that shape--sometimes quite brutally--the experiences of women of
color in the U.S., and they are all about taking that understanding
and mobilizing it toward creative and revisionary efforts for making
social change. (from Aunt
Lute Books website) |
