Borderlands/La Frontera: The New Mestiza by Gloria E. Anzaldúa

5.0

living in the san francisco mission district i realize i want to know more about malinche, holding antinormative spirits close within ambient colonized desire, sifting through a miscellaneous array of semi-viable compromises. if consciousness perceiving the phenomenon is always some kind of compromise, then how do we speak about this particular view from the street in amerikkka? people use this book to be able to turn compromise into a plus, and i really feel that. but i can't go there all the time with anzaldua. and that plus is so abundant, generous, surprising, fulfilling in her writing. i almost want to go, and then i realize i have to learn even more than the little i think i know about malinche.
