How To Tame a Wild Tongue by Gloria E. Anzaldúa

3.0

I found this piece quite interesting because I couldn't imagine the struggle of your internal identity not matching society's expectations to such a degree, having to change your language, your culture... just to fit in, your "wild tongue", your language, being seen as something that "needs taking care of" is wild to me. I also find it acculturation not unambiguously wrong either, I think there should be a balance of your inner self (language, culture) and the influence society's expectations and interpersonal relationships have on your outward identity. This is a grey issue for me.
