Todas somos nos/otras : towards a "politics of openness." 330 $aThe inspirational writings of cultural theorist and social justice activist Gloria Anzaldúa have empowered generations of women and men throughout the world. Charting the multiplicity of Anzaldúa's impact within and beyond academic disciplines, community trenches, and international borders, Bridging presents more than thirty reflections on her work and her life, examining vibrant facets in surprising new ways and inviting readers to engage with these intimate, heartfelt contributions. Bridging is divided into five sections: The New Mestizas: "transitions and transformations"; Exposing the Wounds: "You gave me permission to fly in the dark"; Border Crossings: Inner Struggles, Outer Change; Bridging Theories: Intellectual Activism with/in Borders; and "Todas somos nos/otras": Toward a "politics of openness." Contributors, who include Norma Elia Cantú, Elisa Facio, Shelley Fisher Fishkin, Aída Hurtado, Andrea Lunsford, Denise Segura, Gloria Steinem, and Mohammad Tamdgidi, represent a broad range of generations, professions, academic disciplines, and national backgrounds. Critically engaging with Anzaldúa's theories and building on her work, they use virtual diaries, transformational theory, poetry, empirical research, autobiographical narrative, and other genres to creatively explore and boldly enact future directions for Anzaldúan studies. A book whose form and content reflect Anzaldúa's diverse audience, Bridging perpetuates Anzaldúa's spirit through groundbreaking praxis and visionary insights into culture, gender, sexuality, religion, aesthetics, and politics. This is a collection whose span is as broad and dazzling as Anzaldúa herself. 606 $aMexican Americans in literature 606 $aEthnicity in literature 606 $aSocial justice in literature 606 $aSocial change in literature 606 $aMexican Americans$xIntellectual life 606 $aWomen's studies 606 $aCross-cultural studies 606 $aQueer theory 615 0$aMexican Americans in literature. 615 0$aEthnicity in literature. 615 0$aSocial justice in literature. 615 0$aSocial change in literature. 615 0$aMexican Americans$xIntellectual life. 615 0$aWomen's studies. 615 0$aCross-cultural studies. 615 0$aQueer theory. 676 $a818/.5409 701 $aKeating$b AnaLouise$f1961-$01116376 701 $aGonza?lez-Lo?pez$b Gloria$f1960-$01506267 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910781259503321 996 $aBridging$93833171 997 $aUNINA
