Reviews

[Kathleen · Rating 4 out of 5]

Keating does a fantastic job of editing this collection and acting as Anzaldúa's literary executor. Her deep knowledge and deep love of Anzaldúa comes through in all her work, and this collection is no different.
In this collection, scholars from a variety of disciplines employ Anzaldúan concepts in their own research. Personally, I prefer this collection to her other recent edited collection on Anzaldúa, Bridging. In Bridging, the scholars reflect on what Anzaldúa meant to them. I guess that's all well and good, but to me, they show more reverence for Anzaldúa by engaging her concepts in social justice research. I think La Prieta would have loved this book had she made it to its publication.
