And before a scab forms it hemorrhages again, the lifeblood of two worlds merging to form a third country--a border culture.´ Gloria Anzaldúa.Rooted in Gloria Anzaldúa´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.´The emotional and intellectual impact of the book is disorienting and powerful...all languages are spoken, and survival depends on understanding all modes of thought. In the borderlands new creatures come into being. Anzaldúa celebrates this ´new mestiza´ in bold,experimental writing.´ The Village Voice
