It considers how Chicana butch lesbians and Chicanx trans people are not only challenging heteropatriarchal norms, but also departing from mainstream conceptions of queerness and gender identification. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Expanding on Gloria Anzald a's classic formulation of the Chicana as transformer of the \"borderlands,\" Jackie Cuevas explores how a new generation of Chicanx writers, performers, and filmmakers are imagining a \"post-borderlands\" subjectivity, where shifting national, racial, class, sexual, and gender identifications produce complex power dynamics. In addition, Cuevas offers fresh archival analysis of the Chicana feminist canon to reveal how queer gender variance has always been crucial to this literary tradition.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e T.
