Rhetorics of Nepantla, Memory, and the Gloria Evangelina Anzald俉 Papers: Archival Impulses explores the intersection of Chicana/o/x studies, Latina/o/x studies, archival studies, and public memory by examining the archival homes of cultural critic Gloria Anzald俉. This book illustrates how her archive mirrors her philosophy of theories of the flesh and contains objects that, when placed together by the rhetor, perform the embodied ways of knowing of which she writes. Anzald俉's archive is a generative space that requires a rhetorical perspective that is expansive, intersectional, and flexible enough to handle interactions between the objects found within and across archives. This book provides an account of how to discuss these interactions in theoretically and experientially meaningful ways. From the analysis of Anzald俉's public speeches, the parallels between her birth certificate and creative writing, the planning documents of the 1995 Entre Am駻icas: El Taller Nepantla artist retreat, and more, the author contributes to the fields of archival methods, gender studies, Anzald俉n scholarship, public memory, and rhetorical studies by illustrating why engaging the archives of women of color matters.
