Borderlands/La Frontera
Gloria Anzaldúa’s “La Conciencia de la mestiza: Towards a New Consciousness” appears in the groundbreaking Chicana feminist text, Borderlands/La Frontera: The New Mestiza . In “La Conciencia,” Anzaldúa develops and articulates the positionality of the mestiza, “a product of the transfer of the cultural and spiritual values of one group to another” (78). La mestiza develops “a tolerance for contradictions, a tolerance for ambiguity” (79), finding …

Selections From Borderlands/La Frontera: The New Mestiza
The function of the border, Anzaldúa writes, is to define who is “us” and who is “them,” but the borderlands created by the “emotional residue” of this “unnatural boundary” are populated by all manner of Los atravesados, the crossed ones, not just “Chicanos, Indians, and blacks” but “the squint-eyed, the perverse, the queer, the troublesome, the mongrel, the mulatto, the half-breed, the half dead.” A borderland is a vague and undetermined place c…

Poem: From Borderlands/La Frontera: The New Mestiza
This poem, excerpted from Gloria Anzaldúa's foundational work *Borderlands/La Frontera: The New Mestiza*, explores the complex and often painful experience of living in a borderland, both geographically and metaphorically. It speaks to the fragmentation of identity, the challenges of navigating multiple cultures, and the search for a new, integrated sense of self. Anzaldúa uses vivid imagery and code-switching between English and Spanish to evoke…

Ras Signaling Gets Fine-Tuned: Regulation of Multiple Pathogenic Traits of Candida albicans
Candida albicans is an opportunistic fungal pathogen that can cause disseminated infection in patients with indwelling catheters or other implanted medical devices. A common resident of the human microbiome, C. albicans responds to environmental signals, such as cell contact with catheter materials and exposure to serum or CO 2 , by triggering the expression of a variety of traits, some of which are known to contribute to its pathogenic lifestyle…

La conscience de la Mestiza. Vers une nouvelle conscience
Por la mujer de mi raza hablará el espíritu. José Vasconcelos, philosophe mexicain, a envisagé una raza mestiza, una mezcla de razas afines, una raza de color —la primera raza síntesis del globo.Il l’a appelée race cosmique, la raza cósmica, une cinquième race englobant les quatre principales races du monde.

The Gloria Anzaldúa Reader
Movimientos de rebeldia y las culturas que traicionan
Este artigo explora os movimentos de rebeldia, particularmente entre as mulheres chicanas, e como as culturas dominantes muitas vezes traem essas expressões de resistência. Anzaldua examina a complexa identidade chicana, forjada na história da resistência das mulheres indígenas, e afirma sua cultura mestiça, que abrange influências brancas, mexicanas e indígenas. A autora argumenta que as chicanas vivem entre vários mundos e contam suas histórias…
La conciencia de la mestiza: Rumo a Uma Nova Consciência
A ambivalência proveniente do choque de vozes resulta em estados mentais e emocionais de perplexidade.A contenda interior resulta em insegurança e indecisão.A personalidade dupla ou múltipla da mestiza é assolada por uma inquietude psíquica.Em um estado constante de nepantilismo mental, uma palavra asteca que significa partido ao meio, la mestiza é um produto da transferência de valores culturais e espirituais de um grupo para outro.Ser tricultur…

La conciencia de la Mestiza: Towards a New Consciousness
Jose Vascocelos, Mexican philosopher, envisaged una raza mestiza, una mezcla de razas afines, una raza de color-la primera raza sintesis del globo. He called it a cosmic race, la raza cósmica, a fifth race embracing the four major races of the world. Opposite to the theory of the pure Aryan, and to the policy of racial purity that white America practices, his theory is one of inclusivity.

Chicana Artists: Exploring nepantla, el lugar de la frontera
This article explores the artistic expressions of Chicana artists, focusing on their navigation of the borderlands, both physical and metaphorical, as a space of creativity and resistance. Anzaldua uses the concept of "nepantla," a Nahuatl term signifying the in-between space, to describe the liminal experience of Chicanas who negotiate multiple cultural identities. The article highlights how these artists challenge traditional artistic conventio…
