Gender on the Borderlands captures the intense, complex, and
gendered experience of those living along the barbwire borderlands
of Mexico and the United States. Through scholarship, testimonials,
oral histories, songs, poetry, and art, the contributors reclaim
the borderlands from the distortions and violence of official
history and continue the recovery of a gendered Chicana/Chicano
history begun by Gloria Anzaldua in Borderlands/La Frontera more
than twenty years ago. Both noted and new scholars reweave the
fabric of collective, family, and individual history with a legacy
of agency and activism in the borderlands in these twenty-one
original selections. Contributors explore themes of homeland,
sexuality, language, violence, colonialism, and political
resistance within the most recent frameworks of Chicana/Chicano
inquiry. Art as social critique, culture as a human right, labor
activism, racial plurality, Indigenous knowledge, and strategies of
decolonization all vitalize these selections edited by one of the
country's most respected historians of the borderlands, Antonia
Castaneda.From Aztec cosmology to globalization, Gender on the
Borderlands unites the past with the present and the future to
reclaim and transform the gendered, transnational domain along the
Mexico-U.S. border. Antonia Castaneda, born in Texas and raised in
the state of Washington, is an associate professor of history at
Saint Mary's University in San Antonio, Texas. Susan H. Armitage is
a professor of history at Washington State University and is the
