Produktbeschreibung

More than twenty years after the ground-breaking anthology This Bridge Called My Back called upon feminists to envision new forms of communities and practices, Gloria E. Anzalda and AnaLouise Keating have painstakingly assembled a new collection of over eighty original writings that offers a bold new vision of women-of-color consciousness for the twenty-first century. Written by women and men--both "e;of color"e; and "e;white"e;--this bridge we call home will challenge readers to rethink existing categories and invent new individual and collective identities.
