The inspirational writings of cultural theorist and social justice
activist Gloria Anzaldúa have empowered generations of women and
men throughout the world. Charting the multiplicity of Anzaldúa's
impact within and beyond academic disciplines, community trenches,
and international borders, Bridging presents more than thirty
reflections on her work and her life, examining vibrant facets in
surprising new ways and inviting readers to engage with these
intimate, heartfelt contributions. Bridging is divided into five
sections: The New Mestizas: "transitions and transformations";
Exposing the Wounds: "You gave me permission to fly in the dark";
Border Crossings: Inner Struggles, Outer Change; Bridging Theories:
Intellectual Activism with/in Borders; and "Todas somos nos/otras":
Toward a "politics of openness." Contributors, who include Norma
Elia Cantú, Elisa Facio, Shelley Fisher Fishkin, AÃda Hurtado,
Andrea Lunsford, Denise Segura, Gloria Steinem, and Mohammad
Tamdgidi, represent a broad range of generations, professions,
academic disciplines, and national backgrounds. Critically engaging
with Anzaldúa's theories and building on her work, they use
virtual diaries, transformational theory, poetry, empirical
research, autobiographical narrative, and other genres to
creatively explore and boldly enact future directions for
Anzaldúan studies. A book whose form and content reflect
Anzaldúa's diverse audience, Bridging perpetuates Anzaldúa's
spirit through groundbreaking praxis and visionary insights into
culture, gender, sexuality, religion, aesthetics, and politics.
This is a collection whose span is as broad and dazzling as
Anzaldúa herself.
