List of works by Gloria E. Anzaldúa
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Gloria Evangelina Anzaldúa (1942–2004) was a prolific Chicana writer of prose, fiction, and poetry.[1] After moving from her native Texas to California in 1977, she exclusively focused on her writing,[2] publishing dozens of pieces of writing before her death.[3] She left behind several manuscripts in progress when she died.[3]
Among her most popular pieces of writing are This Bridge Called My Back: Writings by Radical Women of Color (1981) and Borderlands / La Frontera: The New Mestiza (1987; especially a section entitled "La conciencia de la mestiza/Towards a Mestiza Consciousness").[4] She wrote variously about feminism, the role of women of color in feminism, self-reflection, borderlands (particularly the space around the Mexico–United States border), Indigenous mythology and culture, and identity and contradiction.[5][6] She developed the framework of mestiza consciousness, contributed to the field of queer theory, and valued intersectionality over single-identity movements.[7] She is remembered as an especially influential writer in late nineteenth century cultural studies.[8]
