Literature

Gloria Anzaldúa’s and Cherríe Moraga’s important contribution to women of color feminism, the anthology This Bridge Called My Back: Writings by Radical Women of Color (1981) and Anzaldúa’s masterpiece Borderlands/La Frontera – The New Mestiza (1987) represented a significant milestone for the evolution of contemporary Chicana literature. This essay proposes to contextualize Gloria Anzaldúa’s and Cherríe Moraga’s revolutionary approach and expose its theoretical and activist depth that has impacted both Chicana writing and –more broadly– contemporary feminist thought.
