Gloria Anzaldua is the author of Borderlands / La Frontera, a multi-genre work that explores the emerging mestiza, or mixed-race chicana, consciousness. In reality, the borderland are the physical space that lies on the border between Mexico and the United States. Theoretically, it is the space between indigenous and european, female and male, gay and straight. Borderlands is a multi-genre work, blending personal essay, theory and poetry to create a form as unique and influential as Anzaldua herself.
