Paso a paso se va muy lejos: Traveling the Path with AFS
i recognize and acknowledge all my ancestors as I open the circle to deliver the Presidential Address at the 2021 American Folklore Society (AFS) annual meeting with an open heart and a deep connection to those who came before me and to those who will follow.

Viva George! Celebrating Washington's Birthday at the US-Mexico Border
At the center of Elaine A. Peña's book ¡Viva George! Celebrating Washington's Birthday at the US-Mexico Border are the George Washington's Birthday Celebration Association (WBCA) staged events and festivities that since 1898 have united the border sister cities of los dos Laredos: Laredo, Texas, and Nuevo Laredo, Tamaulipas.

Talking Testimonio: Telling History and Memory
Distinct from personal or first-person narrative, testimonio is both an action and a form for transmitting particular kinds of experiences.

Through their contrapuntal conversation, the au…

In more than two hundred original essays, A New Literary History of America brings together the nati…
Doing work that matters: "The impact of Gloria Anzaldúa's "Borderlands/La frontera: The new mestiza
He dividido este breve ensayo en tres secciones: primero, ofrezco una breve biografía de Anzaldúa, y la trayectoria de más de veinte años desde la publicación del libro, incluyendo la fundación de una organización que continúa el trabajo del proyecto vital de Anzaldúa. En segundo lugar, debido a que este escrito interroga el modo en que Borderlands ha cambiado radicalmente la manera en que abordamos ciertas áreas en el trabajo escolar, examino al…
Doing Work That Matters: Gloria Anzaldúa in the International Arena
In this brief introductory essay to the Signs Comparative Perspectives Symposium on Gloria Anzaldúa, I map the terrain of Anzaldúan studies in an international space. Since her passing in 2004, Gloria Anzaldúa’s work has become more widely known in academic circles worldwide, perhaps because our worldwide situation has changed and scholars find in her work a tool for analysis of their situation. As the various writers included in the symposium at…
From Champú, or Hair Matters
From Champú, or Hair Matters Norma Elia Cantú (bio) Mercedes Zamora Mercy, she called herself. Her mother had named her after la Virgin de la Merced, so grateful was she to Our Lady, she kept a candle lit to the holy image in thanksgiving for giving her a daughter. She lived close to where Diamond grew up en el barrio Las Cruces and had the most beautiful hair. Good hair. And now she was gone. So many deaths. So many senseless deaths. As if the d…
