{"product_id":"interviewsentrevistas-9780415925044","title":"Interviews\/Entrevistas","description":"Gloria E. Anzaldúa, best known for her books \u003cem\u003eBorderlands\/La Frontera\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eThis Bridge Called My Back\u003c\/em\u003e, is one of the foremost feminist thinkers and activists of our time. As one of the first openly lesbian Chicana writers, Anzaldúa has played a major role in redefining queer, female, and Chicano\/a identities, and in developing inclusionary movements for social justice.\u003cbr\u003eIn this memoir-like collection, Anzaldúa's powerful voice speaks clearly and passionately. She recounts her life, explains many aspects of her thought, and explores the intersections between her writings and postcolonial theory. Each selection deepens our understanding of an important cultural theorist's lifework. The interviews contain clear explanations of Anzaldúa's original concept of the \u003cem\u003eBorderlands\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003emestizaje\u003c\/em\u003e and her subsequent revisions of these ideas; her use of the term \u003cem\u003eNew Tribalism\u003c\/em\u003e as a disruptive category that redefines previous ethnocentric forms of nationalism; and what Anzaldúa calls \u003cem\u003econocimientos\u003c\/em\u003e-- alternate ways of knowing that synthesize reflection with action to create knowledge systems that challenge the status quo.\u003cbr\u003eHighly personal and always rich in insight, these interviews, arranged and introduced by AnaLouise Keating, will not only serve as an accessible introduction to Anzaldúa's groundbreaking body of work, but will also be of significant interest to those already well-versed in her thinking. For readers engaged in postcoloniality, feminist theory, ethnic studies, or queer identity, \u003cem\u003eInterviews\/Entrevistas\u003c\/em\u003e will be a key contemporary document.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eGloria E.
