Even if the books remain the same (though they too change, in the light of an altered historical perspective), we certainly have changed, and this later encounter is therefore completely new. –Italo Calvino, Why Read the Classics? 90s Queer I came…

on touching ghosts

          Once I accidentally ran my arm through her body           felt heat on one side of my face.           She wasn’t solid. The shock pushed me against the wall. A torrent of days swept past me           before I tried to “see” her again. She had never wanted to be flesh she told me           until she met me.

-- Gloria Anzaldúa, from Interface (for Frances Doughty)

    When I wake, I am sure Petra has gone for a run, before I realize that my hand has sunk into the luminous cavern of her chest.     I tip into her completely, choke like I'm being waterboarded. She wakes up and screams as I flail around inside her.     After a minute, we calm down. She moves away from me, to the edge of the bed. We wait. Seven minutes go by. Ten. Half an hour.     "Is this it?" I ask her. "Is this it?"

-- Carmen Maria Machado, “Real Women Have Bodies”

What I write is a great marvel. It is said that a certain woman laid hold of a ghost and carried him on her back into a certain house in presence of some men, one of whom reported that he saw the hands of the woman sink deeply into the flesh of the ghost as though the flesh were rotten and not solid but phantom flesh.

-- from “Twelve Medieval Ghost Stories” of Byland Abbey, transcribed by M.R. James and translated by A.J. Grant

“La gente Chicana tiene tres madres. All three are mediators: Guadalupe, the virgin mother who has not abandoned us, la Chingada (Malinche), the raped mother whom we have abandoned, and la Llorona, the mother who seeks her lost children and is a combination of the other two.

Ambiguity surrounds the symbols of these three “Our Mothers.” Guadalupe has been used by the Church to mete out institutionalized oppression: to placate the Indians and mexicanos and Chicanos. In part, the true identity of all three has been subverted - Guadalupe to make us docile and enduring, la Chingada to make us ashamed of our Indian side, and la Llorona to make us long-suffering people. This obscuring has encouraged the virgen/puta dichotomy.”

- Borderlands/La Frontera: The New Mestiza, Gloria Anzaldúa. 1987

Prior to 1982, U.S. store owners thrived on retail sales to Mexicans who came across the border for groceries and clothes and appliances. While goods on the U.S. side have become 10, 100, 1000 times more expensive for Mexican buyers, goods on the Mexican side have become 10, 100, 1000 times cheaper for Americans.

Dear Gloria

What follows is a slight rewrite of a class assignment. The assignment was to write a response letter to “Speaking in Tongues: A Letter to Third World Women Writers” by Gloria Anzaldúa which can be found in the pages of A Bridge Called My Back: Writings by Radical Women of Color, an anthology edited by Cherríe Moraga and Gloria Anzaldúa. Because I am a creature of habit, I did deviate from just…

Borderlands/La Frontera: The New Mestiza - Gloria E. Anzaldúa

Borderlands/La Frontera: The New Mestiza is a 1987 semi-autobiographical work by Gloria E. Anzaldúa that examines the Chicano and Latino experience through the lens of issues such as gender, identity, race, and colonialism. Borderlands is considered to be Anzaldúa’s most well-known work and a pioneering piece of Chicana literature. In an interview, Anzaldúa claims to have drawn inspiration from the ethnic and social community of her youth as well as from her experiences as a woman of color in academia. Scholars also argue that Anzaldúa re-conceptualized the theory of the "mestiza" from the Chicano Movement. Anzaldúa alternates between Spanish and English using a technique such as “code-switching.” Borderlands has been a subject of controversy; it has been promoted in educational spaces for its role in affirming student identity, but also targeted by Arizona House Bill 2281, which banned the teaching of ethnic studies courses and literature that were thought to “promote resentment towards a race or class of people”.
