Vivancos-Perez Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description Thiscritical edition oftext that changed the course of Chicanx, queer, and feminist theory breathes new life into the themes still present in todays political and social climate.At the same time this book offers insight into the construction of Anzaldas philosophies.Borderlands was first published in 1987 after an organic composition process, mixing prose and poetry and integrating personal memories with a philosophical search for a consciousness-raising and coalition-building method for the oppressed. Conceptually innovative, visionary, and rebellious at the time, Borderlands has continued to be studied as a distinctive creative work and a spiritual guidebook to heal and empower Chicanxs, queer communities of color, and other marginalized groups. Rooted in Gloria Anzaldas experience as a Chicana, a lesbian, an activist, and a writer, the essays and poems in Borderlands/La Frontera, her first book and signature work, remap our understanding of "borders" as psychic, social, and cultural terrains that we inhabit and that inhabit all of us.Drawing heavily on archival research and a comprehensive literature review, this critical edition elucidates Anzaldas complex composition process and its centrality in the development of her philosophy and contextualizes the book within her theories and writings before and after its 1987 publication. It opens with two introductory studies; offers a corrected text, explanatory footnotes, translations, and four archival appendices; and closes with an updated bibliography of Anzaldas works, an extensive scholarly bibliography on Borderlands, and her biography.It also featuress features an afterword by notedAnzalda scholar AnaLouise Keating.Imagine Borderlands as a timeless pyramid of ideas that has been added to, deconstructed, reconstructed, transcribed, translated, and trans-interpreted by every generation of Chicanx and non-Chicanx feminist scholars in the thirty-five years since its publication. This critical edition offers both a painstakingly articulated scholarly scaffolding around Anzaldas original text and a bridge into the life and memory of the author who designed the blueprint of that pyramid.- Alicia Gaspar de Alba, Professor of Chicana/o Studies, English, and Gender Studies, UCLAVivancos-Perez takes readers by the hand in this straightforward, well-crafted edition, offering a detailed introduction describing the eminent authors iterative process of writing Borderlands.

Scholars, students, family, soul-mates, and friends of Anzalda (myself included) will be thrilled with this long-awaited, noteworthy critical edition.- Emma Perez, author of The Decolonial Imaginary: Writing Chicanas into HistoryRicardo F.
