It is a peculiar fact that U.S.-Mexico border theory is dominated
by those who write about, not from, the border. By looking at the
work of women writers from both sides of the border, Debra A.
Castillo and Maria-Socorro Tabuenca Cordoba open border studies to
a truly transnational analysis while bringing questions of gender
to the fore.
Border Women rethinks border theory by emphasizing women writers
whose work -- in Spanish, English, or a mixture of the two
languages -- calls into question accepted notions of border
identities. These writers include those who are already well
recognized internationally (Helena Maria Viramontes, Sheila and
Sandra Ortiz Taylor, and Maria Novato); those who have become part
of the Chicano canon (Norma Cantu, Alicia Gaspar de Alba, and
Demetria Martinez); along with some of the lesser-known, yet most
exciting, women's voices from the Mexican border (Rosario
Sanmiguel, Rosina Conde, and Regina Swain).
