Anzaldúa writes everything like it’s poetry. Glad I finally picked this one up.

I read the first half of this for my Queer Theory class. Currently I have no plans to read the second half of the book (poetry), but I did find the section on borders insightful!

I had to read this book for my marxism class. It was an amazing experience cause i didn't know what this reading will be holding for me. It was amazing, it has a lot of subjects, that are personally my interest, and it’ll also turned out to be one of my books for my thesis. I really liked that it wasn't another academic text, it was A WOMAN JUST WRITING ABOUT WOMANHOOD WITH HISTORY, PERSONAL EXPERIENCES, LOVE, HATRED ON CULTURE, and the space that stays between mexican and american cultures. I cried, i felt angry, hopeful, sad and happy to read her and see how all of her questionings on her inside, had an answer.... most of them.

A beautiful portrait of the culture born from borders and the people who's identities aren't valued because they are "in between."
