Borderlands/La Frontera: The New Mestiza, Fourth Edition by Gloria E. Anzaldúa

5.0

---

There are a lot of reasons why this is a book that so many return to again and again, and moreso, a very important book. Anzaldua's work with the border crossings of many identities (intersectionality) was ground breaking in 1987 when this book was first published, and is just as relevant and important today. I don't know how I got so far along in my academic career with only reading selections of this book. I don't know yet how much this book changes my perceptions, but I can see clearly how it will continue to be a text I return to.
