Gloria Evangelina Anzaldúa (September 26, 1942 – May 15, 2004) was an American scholar of Chicana cultural theory, feminist theory, and queer theory. She loosely based her best-known book, Borderlands/La Frontera: The New Mestiza, on her life growing up on the Mexico–Texas border and incorporated her lifelong experiences of social and cultural marginalization into her work. She besides developed theories nigh the marginal, in-betwixt, and mixed cultures that develop along borders, including on the concepts of Nepantla, Coyoxaulqui imperative, new tribalism, and spiritual activism.^{[one] [two]}

Early life and pedagogy [edit]

Anzaldúa was born in the Rio Grande Valley of due south Texas on September 26, 1942, to Urbano Anzaldúa and Amalia Anzaldúa née García, oldest of four children. Gloria Anzaldúa's neat-grandfather, Urbano Sr., one time a precinct judge in Hidalgo County, was the first owner of the Jesús María Ranch on which she was born. Her mother grew upward on an adjoining ranch, Los Vergeles ("the gardens"), which was endemic past her family, and she met and married Urbano Anzaldúa when both were very young. Anzaldúa was a descendant of many of the prominent Spanish explorers and settlers to come to the Americas in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries and also had indigenous ancestry. The surname Anzaldúa is of Basque origin. Her paternal grandmother was of Spanish and German ancestry, descending from some of the earliest settlers of the South Texas range country.^[3] She has described her begetter's family as being "very poor aristocracy, only aristocracy anyway" and her female parent as "very india, working course, with perchance some blackness claret which is ever looked downwards on in the valley where I come from." She likewise believed she had Jewish beginnings because of her father who had "very Jewish features, curly hair, the olfactory organ."^[4]

Anzaldúa has written that her family gradually lost their wealth and condition over the years, eventually being reduced to poverty and being forced into migrant labor, something her family unit resented because "[t]o work in the fields is the lowest job, and to be a migrant worker is even lower." Her father was a tenant farmer and sharecropper who kept 60% of what he earned, while 40% went to a white-owned corporation called Rio Farms, Inc. Anzaldúa has claimed that her family lost their land due to a combination of "taxes and dingy manipulation" from white people who were buying up country in South Texas through "trickery", and from the behavior of her "very irresponsible grandpa" who lost "a lot of state and money through carelessness." Anzaldúa was left with an inheritance of "a petty piece" of twelve acres, which she deeded over to her mother Amalia. Her maternal grandmother Ramona Dávila had amassed state grants from the time Texas was office of Mexico, but the land was lost due to "abandon, through white peoples' greed, and my grandmother not knowing English."^[4]

Anzaldúa wrote that she did non phone call herself an "republic of india", only still claimed Indigenous beginnings. In "Speaking across the Carve up" from the Gloria Eastward. Anzaldúa Reader, she states that her white/mestiza grandmother described her every bit "pura indita" due to dark spots on her buttocks. Later, Anzaldúa wrote that she "recognized myself in the faces of the braceros that worked for my father. Los braceros were generally indios from fundamental United mexican states who came to work the fields in south Texas. I recognized the Indian aspect of mexicanos by the stories my grandmothers told and by the foods we ate." Despite her family not identifying every bit Mexican, Anzaldúa believed that "nosotros were still Mexican and that all Mexicans are part Indian." Although Anzaldúa has been criticized past Indigenous scholars for allegedly appropriating Indigenous identity, Anzaldúa claimed that her Indigenous critics had "misread or has not read enough of my work." Despite claiming to be "3 quarters Indian", she likewise wrote that she was afraid she was "violating Indian cultural boundaries" and afraid that her theories could "unwittingly contribute to the misappropriation of Native cultures" and of "people who live in existent Indian bodies." She wrote that while worried that "mestizaje and a new tribalism" could "detribalize" Indigenous peoples, she believed the dialogue was imperative "no thing how risky." Writing about the "Color of Violence" conference organized by Andrea Smith in Santa Cruz, Anzaldúa accused Native American women of engaging in "a lot of finger pointing" because they had argued that non-Indigenous Chicanas use of Indigenous identity is a "continuation of the abuse of native spirituality and the Internet cribbing of Indian symbols, rituals, vision quests, and spiritual healing practices similar shamanism."^{[five] [vi]}

When she was eleven, her family unit relocated to Hargill, Texas.^[7] She graduated equally valedictorian of Edinburg High School in 1962.^[viii]

Anzaldúa managed to pursue a university education, despite the racism, sexism and other forms of oppression she experienced equally a seventh generation Tejana and Chicana. In 1968, she received a B.A. in English, Art, and Secondary Education from University of Texas–Pan American, and an Yard.A. in English language and Instruction from the University of Texas at Austin. While in Austin, she joined politically agile cultural poets and radical dramatists such as Ricardo Sanchez, and Hedwig Gorski.

Career and major works [edit]

After obtaining a Available of Arts in English from the Pan American University (at present Academy of Texas Rio Grande Valley), Anzaldúa worked as a preschool and special education teacher. In 1977, she moved to California, where she supported herself through her writing, lectures, and occasional teaching stints near feminism, Chicano studies, and creative writing at San Francisco State Academy, the University of California, Santa Cruz, Florida Atlantic University, and other universities.

She is perhaps most famous for co-editing This Bridge Called My Back: Writings past Radical Women of Colour (1981) with Cherríe Moraga, editing Making Face, Making Soul/Haciendo Caras: Artistic and Critical Perspectives past Women of Colour (1990), and co-editing This Bridge We Call Domicile: Radical Visions for Transformation (2002). She also wrote the semi-autobiographical Borderlands/La Frontera: The New Mestiza (1987). At the time of her death she was shut to completing the book manuscript, Light in the Night/Luz en lo Oscuro: Rewriting Identity, Spirituality, Reality, which she also planned to submit every bit her dissertation. Information technology has now been published posthumously by Duke University Printing (2015). Her children'southward books include Prietita Has a Friend (1991), Friends from the Other Side — Amigos del Otro Lado (1993), and Prietita y La Llorona (1996). She has also authored many fictional and poetic works.

She made contributions to fields of feminism, cultural theory/Chicana, and queer theory.^[9] Her essays are considered foundational texts in the bourgeoning field of Latinx philosophy.^{[10] [eleven] [12]}

Anzaldúa wrote a speech chosen "Speaking in Tongues: A Alphabetic character to Third World Women Writers" focusing on the shift towards an equal and just gender representation in literature but away from racial and cultural issues because of the rise of female writers and theorists. She also stressed in her essay the ability of writing to create a world that would recoup for what the real world does not offering.^[xiii]

This Bridge Called My Dorsum [edit]

Anzaldúa's essay '"La Prieta" deals with her manifestation of thoughts and horrors that take constituted her life in Texas. Anzaldúa identifies herself every bit an entity without a figurative home and/or peoples to completely relate to. To supplement this deficiency, Anzaldúa created her own sanctuary, Mundo Zurdo, whereby her personality transcends the norm-based lines of relating to a certain group. Instead, in her Mundo Zurdo, she is like a "Shiva, a many-armed and legged trunk with one foot on brown soil, one on white, one in direct society, one in the gay world, the man's world, the women'southward, ane limb in the literary globe, another in the working form, the socialist, and the occult worlds".^[xiv] The passage describes the identity battles which the author had to engage in throughout her life. Since early childhood, Anzaldúa has had to deal with the claiming of existence a woman of color. From the beginnings she was exposed to her own people, to her own family unit'south racism and "fearfulness of women and sexuality".^[15] Her family unit's internalized racism immediately cast her as the "other" because of their bias that being white and blanched means prestige and royalty, when color subjects 1 to beingness almost the scum of society (merely as her mother had complained nearly her prieta dating a mojado from Peru). The household she grew upwards in was one in which the male figure was the authoritarian caput, while the female, the mother, was stuck in all the biases of this paradigm. Although this is the difficult position in which white, patriarchal lodge has bandage women of colour, gays and lesbians, she does non brand them out to exist the archenemy, considering she believes that "casting stones is not the solution"^[sixteen] and that racism and sexism do not come up from only whites merely also people of colour. Throughout her life, the inner racism and sexism from her childhood would haunt her, equally she frequently was asked to choose her loyalties, whether it be to women, to people of color, or to gays/lesbians. Her analogy to Shiva is well-fitted, as she decides to go against these conventions and enter her own world: Mundo Zurdo, which allows the self to go deeper, to transcend the lines of convention and, at the same fourth dimension, to recreate the self and the club. This is for Anzaldúa a form of religion, one that allows the self to deal with the injustices that society throws at it and to come up out a better person, a more reasonable person.

An entry in the volume titled "Speaking In Tongues: A Letter To Third Globe Women Writers", spotlights the dangers Anzaldúa considers women writers of colour deal with, and these dangers are rooted in a lack of privileges. She talks about the transformation of writing styles and how we are taught not to air our truths. Folks are outcast as a result of speaking and writing with their native tongues. Anzaldúa wants more women writers of color to be visible and exist well represented in text. Her essay compels us to write with compassion and with love. For writing is a grade of gaining ability by speaking our truths, and it is seen every bit a way to decolonize, to resist, and to unite women of color collectively within the feminist movement.

Borderlands/La Frontera: The New Mestiza [edit]

She is highly known for this semi-autobiographical book, which discusses her life growing up on the Mexico–Texas border. It was selected as ane of the 38 all-time books of 1987 by Library Journal. Borderlands examines the condition of women in Chicano and Latino culture. Anzaldúa discusses several critical bug related to Chicana experiences: heteronormativity, colonialism, and male dominance. She gives a very personal business relationship of the oppression of Chicana lesbians and talks most the gendered expectations of beliefs that normalizes women'southward deference to male person authority in her community. She develops the thought of the "new mestiza" as a "new higher consciousness" that will break down barriers and fight against the male/female person dualistic norms of gender. The first half of the book is about isolation and loneliness in the borderlands betwixt cultures. The latter one-half of the book is verse. In the book, Anzaldúa uses two variations of English language and vi variations of Castilian. By doing this, she deliberately makes information technology difficult for not-bilinguals to read. Linguistic communication was i of the barriers Anzaldúa dealt with as a kid, and she wanted readers to understand how frustrating things are when at that place are language barriers. The volume was written every bit an outlet for her anger and encourages 1 to be proud of one's heritage and culture.^[17]

In affiliate iii of the book, titled "Entering Into the Serpent," Anzaldúa discusses 3 fundamental women Mexican culture, "La Llorona, La Malinche, and Our Lady of Guadalupe. Known as the "Three Mothers" (Spanish: Las Tres Madres) she explores their relationship to Mexican civilisation.^[18]

Lite in the Dark⁄Luz en lo Oscuro: Rewriting Identity, Spirituality, Reality

Anzaldúa wrote Light in the Night during the last decade of her life. Fatigued from her unfinished dissertation for her PhD in Literature from University of California, Santa Cruz, the book is advisedly organized from The Gloria Anzaldúa Papers, 1942–2004 by AnaLouise Keating, Anzaldúa'southward literary trustee. The book represents her virtually developed philosophy.^[19] Throughout Light in the Dark, Anzaldúa weaves personal narratives into deeply engaging theoretical readings to annotate on numerous contemporary issues—including the September xi attacks, neocolonial practices in the fine art world, and coalitional politics. She valorizes subaltern forms and methods of knowing, existence, and creating that take been marginalized by Western thought, and theorizes her writing procedure as a fully embodied creative, spiritual, and political practice. Light in the Dark contains multiple transformative theories including include the nepantleras, the Coyolxauhqui imperative (named for the Aztec goddess Coyolxāuhqui), spiritual activism, and others.

Themes in writing [edit]

Nepantlism [edit]

Anzaldúa drew on Nepantla, a Nahuatl word that means "in the eye", to conceptualise her experience as a Chicana woman. She coined the term "Nepantlera". "Nepantleras are threshold people; they move within and amongst multiple, ofttimes conflicting, worlds and refuse to marshal themselves exclusively with any unmarried individual, group, or conventionalities system."^[20]

Spirituality [edit]

Anzaldúa described herself as a very spiritual person and stated that she experienced iv out-of-body experiences during her lifetime. In many of her works, she referred to her devotion to la Virgen de Guadalupe (Our Lady of Guadalupe), Nahuatl/Toltec divinities, and to the Yoruba orishás Yemayá and Oshún.^[21] In 1993, she expressed regret that scholars had largely ignored the "unsafe" spiritual aspects of Borderlands and bemoaned the resistance to such an important function of her piece of work.^[22] In her later writings, she developed the concepts of spiritual activism and nepantleras to draw the ways contemporary social actors tin combine spirituality with politics to enact revolutionary change.

Anzaldúa has written about the influence of hallucinogenic drugs on her creativity, particularly psilocybin mushrooms. During 1 1975 psilocybin mushroom trip when she was "stoned out of my caput", she coined the term "the multiple Glorias" or the "Gloria Multiplex" to describe her feeling of multiplicity, an insight that influenced her later writings.^[23]

Language and "linguistic terrorism" [edit]

Anzaldua'due south works weave English language and Spanish together as one language, an idea stemming from her theory of "borderlands" identity. Her autobiographical essay, "La Prieta," was published in (by and large) English language in This Bridge Called My Back, and in (mostly) Spanish in Esta puente, mi espalda: Voces de mujeres tercermundistas en los Estados Unidos. In her writing, Anzaldúa uses a unique alloy of eight dialects, ii variations of English and half dozen of Spanish. In many ways, past writing in a mix of languages, Anzaldúa creates a daunting task for the not-bilingual reader to decipher the full meaning of the text. Linguistic communication, clearly one of the borders Anzaldúa addressed, is an essential feature to her writing. Her book is defended to existence proud of i's heritage and to recognizing the many dimensions of her culture.^[7]

Anzaldúa emphasized in her writing the connection betwixt linguistic communication and identity. She expressed dismay with people who gave upward their native language in club to conform to the club they were in. Anzaldúa was often scolded for her improper Castilian accent and believed it was a strong aspect to her heritage; therefore, she labels the qualitative labeling of linguistic communication "linguistic terrorism."^[24] She spent a lot of time promoting credence of all languages and accents.^[25] In an effort to betrayal her opinion on linguistics and labels, Anzaldúa explained, "While I advocate putting Chicana, tejana, working-form, dyke-feminist poet, writer theorist in front of my name, I do and then for reasons different than those of the dominant culture... so that the Chicana and lesbian and all the other persons in me don't get erased, omitted, or killed."^[26]

Wellness, body, and trauma [edit]

Anzaldúa experienced at a immature age symptoms of the endocrine status that caused her to end growing physically at the age of twelve.^[27] Every bit a child, she would vesture special girdles fashioned for her past her mother in club to disguise her condition. Her mother would also ensure that a cloth was placed in Anzaldúa's underwear as a child in instance of bleeding. Anzaldúa remembers, "I'd take [the encarmine cloths] out into this shed, wash them out, and hang them really low on a cactus so nobody would see them.... My genitals... [were] e'er a smelly place that dripped blood and had to be hidden." She eventually underwent a hysterectomy in 1980 when she was 38 years erstwhile to bargain with uterine, cervical, and ovarian abnormalities.^[22]

Anzaldúa'southward poem "Nightvoice" alludes to a history of kid sexual abuse equally she writes: "blurting out everything how my cousins/took turns at night when I was five 8 x."^[28]

Mestiza/Border Culture [edit]

One of Anzaldúa'southward major contributions was her introduction to United States bookish audiences of the term mestizaje, meaning a state of being beyond binary ("either-or") formulation, into academic writing and give-and-take. In her theoretical works, Anzaldúa chosen for a "new mestiza," which she described equally an individual aware of her conflicting and meshing identities and uses these "new angles of vision" to challenge binary thinking in the Western globe. The "borderlands" that she refers to in her writing are geographical as well every bit a reference to mixed races, heritages, religions, sexualities, and languages. Anzaldúa is primarily interested in the contradictions and juxtapositions of conflicting and intersecting identities. She points out that having to place as a certain, labelled, sexual activity tin be detrimental to one's creativity as well as how seriously people take you every bit a producer of consumable goods.^[29] The "new mestiza" fashion of thinking is illustrated in postcolonial feminism.^[xxx]

Anzaldúa chosen for people of different races to confront their fears to move forward into a globe that is less hateful and more useful. In "La Conciencia de la Mestiza: Towards a New Consciousness," a text ofttimes used in women's studies courses, Anzaldúa insisted that separatism invoked by Chicanos/Chicanas is not furthering the cause but instead keeping the aforementioned racial segmentation in identify. Many of Anzaldúa'due south works challenge the status quo of the movements in which she was involved. She challenged these movements in an effort to make real modify happen to the world rather than to specific groups. Scholar Ivy Schweitzer writes, "her theorizing of a new borderlands or mestiza consciousness helped spring start fresh investigations in several fields -- feminist, Americanist [and] postcolonial."^[31]

Sexuality [edit]

In the same style that Anzaldúa often wrote that she felt that she could non be classified equally only function of one race or the other, she felt that she possessed a multi-sexuality. When growing upwards, Anzaldúa expressed that she felt an "intense sexuality" towards her ain father, children, animals, and fifty-fifty trees. AnaLouise Keating considered omitting Anzaldúa's sexual fantasies involving incest and bestiality for being "rather shocking" and "pretty radical", but Anzaldúa insisted that they remain because "to me, nothing is private." Anzaldúa claimed she had "sexual fantasies about father-daughter, sister-brother, woman-dog, woman-wolf, woman-jaguar, adult female-tiger, or woman-panther. It was usually a cat- or dog-type animal." Anzaldúa too specified that she may have "mistaken this connection, this spiritual connexion, for sexuality." She was attracted to and later had relationships with both men and women. Although she identified herself as a lesbian in about of her writing and had always experienced attraction to women, she also wrote that lesbian was "not an adequate term" to depict herself. She stated that she "consciously chose women" and consciously inverse her sexual preference by changing her fantasies, arguing that "You can change your sexual preference. It's real like shooting fish in a barrel." She stated that she "became a lesbian in my head offset, the ideology, the politics, the aesthetics" and that the "touching, kissing, hugging, and all came later".^[22] Anzaldúa wrote extensively well-nigh her queer identity and the marginalization of queer people, particularly in communities of color.^[32]

Feminism [edit]

Anzaldúa self-identifies in her writing as a feminist, and her major works are oftentimes associated with Chicana feminism and postcolonial feminism. Anzaldúa writes of the oppression she experiences specifically as a woman of colour, as well as the restrictive gender roles that exist within the Chicano community. In Borderlands, she also addresses topics such as sexual violence perpetrated against women of color.^[33] Her theoretical work on border culture is considered a precursor to Latinx Philosophy.^[34]

Criticism [edit]

Anzaldúa has been criticized for neglecting and erasing Afro-Latino and Afro-Mexican history, as well as for drawing inspiration from José Vasconcelos' La raza cósmica without critiquing the racism, anti-black, and eugenics within the work of Vasconcelos.^[35]

Josefina Saldaña-Portillo's 2001 essay "Who'southward the Indian in Aztlán?" criticizes the "ethnic erasure" in the piece of work of Anzaldúa also as Anzaldúa's "cribbing of land sponsored Mexican indigenismo."^[36]
