{"product_id":"the-gloria-anzalda-reader-gloria-anzaldua-9780822345640","title":"The Gloria Anzald俉 Reader","description":"Born in the R卲 Grande Valley of south Texas, independent scholar and creative writer Gloria Anzald俉 was an internationally acclaimed cultural theorist. As the author of \u003ci\u003eBorderlands \/ La Frontera: The New Mestiza\u003c\/i\u003e, Anzald俉 played a major role in shaping contemporary Chicano\/a and lesbian\/queer theories and identities. As an editor of three anthologies, including the groundbreaking \u003ci\u003eThis Bridge Called My Back: Writings by Radical Women of Color\u003c\/i\u003e, she played an equally vital role in developing an inclusionary, multicultural feminist movement. A versatile author, Anzald俉 published poetry, theoretical essays, short stories, autobiographical narratives, interviews, and children's books. Her work, which has been included in more than 100 anthologies to date, has helped to transform academic fields including American, Chicano\/a, composition, ethnic, literary, and women's studies.\u003cp\u003eThis reader--which provides a representative sample of the poetry, prose, fiction, and experimental autobiographical writing that Anzald俉 produced during her thirty-year career--demonstrates the breadth and philosophical depth of her work. While the reader contains much of Anzald俉's published writing (including several pieces now out of print), more than half the material has never before been published. This newly available work offers fresh insights into crucial aspects of Anzald俉's life and career, including her upbringing, education, teaching experiences, writing practice and aesthetics, lifelong health struggles, and interest in visual art, as well as her theories of disability, multiculturalism, pedagogy, and spiritual activism. The pieces are arranged chronologically; each one is preceded by a brief introduction. The collection includes a glossary of Anzald俉's key terms and concepts, a timeline of her life, primary and secondary bibliographies, and a detailed index.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gloria Anzaldua\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0822345641\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780822345640\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Duke University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/01\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 376\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.33lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.24h x 6.06w x 0.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/12\/2009 pg. 40\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2010","brand":"Gloria Anzaldua","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44051814351103,"sku":"9780822345640","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_788473b3-dbb8-4745-a68a-8903bd9ef841.jpg?v=1685015326","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-gloria-anzalda-reader-gloria-anzaldua-9780822345640","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
