EntreMundos/AmongWorlds - New Perspectives on Gloria E. Anzaldua (Hardcover, 2005 ed.)

"EntreMundos" offers a multidisciplinary investigation of the concepts, impact, and writings of contemporary cultural theorist and creative writer, Gloria Anzaldua. Her work, which is frequently anthologized and often cited, as well as widely taught at the high school, undergraduate, and graduate level, has challenged and expanded previous views in American Studies, Chicano/a Studies, composition studies, cultural studies, ethnic studies, feminism, literary studies, critical pedagogy, and queer theory. Here scholars from a number of disciplines gather to reflect critically and anecdotally on Anzaldua's writing, her ideas, and the wider significance of her work. Highlighting some of Anzaldua's lesser explored theories, "EntreMundos" challenges readers to re-examine Anzaldua's writings and theorizing from additional perspectives. The goal is to broaden Anzalduan scholarship, shifting the conversation in new directions while underscoring the visionary yet pragmatic social-justice dimensions of her work.
