Anzaldua, scholar of Chicana cultural theory, feminist and queer theory

The border

crossings

Form Based on her personal experiences of growing up on the US-Mexican border 1st part of the book: essays that are variations on the theme of borderlands 2nd part of the book: poetry written in English and Spanish, each with variations Form of the text:uneven and multi-genre—poetry, memoir (“autohistoria”), testimony, history, critical commentary

Spatial Borderland Physical/spatial/geographical—borderlands as a transnational space: a third country Spaces b/w nations: US/Mexico border Spanish colonization in the 16th c; US colonization of Mexico in the 19th c (1848); 1910: Mexican revolution Neoliberal economic regime inaugurated by NAFTA (North American Free Trade Agreement) that gave rights to US corporations to set up factories in the borderlands Correspondingly, an increased surveillance of borders and migrants, undocumented workers impoverished under global capitalism (loss of land)

Language English, Nahuatl and Chicano Spanish; bilingualism/multilingualism, an important aspect of transnational feminism “How to tame a wild tongue”—critique of domination through official languages to speak is to transgress, to cross borders; writing as an act of self-creation language and experience; questions of literacy—alphabetic and pictorial languages

Borderlands of Nation/Family and race, ethnicity and sexuality Solidarity, coalitions, filiation beyond blood, biology “as a mestiza I have no country” Chicana (Mexicans in the US) lesbianism/new Mestiza (indigenous and Spanish) Against white supremacy of US culture; male supremacy of native culture Father; male-identified mother (cf. Lucy)

Borderlands of history and fiction History, not linear but serpentine: using indigenous icons, traditions and rituals, from before European colonisation Material/ist history Histories of subaltern resistance Reinterpreting female figures from history, marked as traitors autohistoria

Borders… Borderlands as margins that have an epistemic privilege, a critical edge Breaking down of dualisms—a new hybrid identity (native to America, but non-Western) a new hermeneutics The new subjectivity and consciousness of the borderlands A new cartography A new transnational feminist consciousness
