Gloria Anzaldúa
Gloria Evangelina Anzaldúa (September 26, 1942 – May 15, 2004) was an American scholar of
Chicana feminism,
cultural theory, and
queer theory. She loosely based her best-known book, ''
Borderlands/La Frontera: The New Mestiza'' (1987), on her life growing up on the
Mexico–Texas border and incorporated her lifelong experiences of social and cultural
marginalization into her work. She also developed theories about the marginal, in-between, and mixed cultures that develop along borders, including on the concepts of
Nepantla,
Coyoxaulqui imperative,
new tribalism, and
spiritual activism. Her other notable publications include ''
This Bridge Called My Back: Writings by Radical Women of Color'' (1981), co-edited with
Cherríe Moraga.
