I wish I had read this 20 years ago. It would have given me language to understand and describe things about my life and identity and experience.
Better late than never.
Therapists interested in culture, race, and identity should definitely read this.

This book is a treasure and I am so grateful for Gloria Anzaldúa’s strength, tenderness, and genius.

This book is difficult to review because it is so many things at once. Anzaldúa's refusal to limit herself to one language, genre, or way of approaching history and truth resulted in my feeling enlightened, challenged, corrected, seen, and inspired. I finished this book with a deeper understanding of not only the physical and metaphorical borderlands Anzaldúa inhabited but also the complexity, struggle, and beauty of borderlands in general. I look forward to finding time to read this book again someday as I believe there is too much within it to get from one reading.

Brilliant and thoughtful. Anzaldúa's writings are powerful and radical.

Still so vital and fierce across the years. I read this book for graduate school five years ago and just now finished re-reading it. Anzaldua lays bare the misogyny and racism of American imperial dominance in the southwest.
