"I can't imagine how exciting this book was when it first came out 20 years ago. Anzaldua is not shy about expressing how she sees the world. Like anyone who does something that's groundbreaking, she can get carried away, open herself up for easy emotionless deconstruction, and offend. But the passion in these pages makes up for these little flaws. The essays are magnificent, and the poetry very good, though I don't know that her verse would have the same power without being able to bat clean-up for the essays. This book is the kind of writing/thinking I turn to when others ask, "What are you learning in that graduate study of yours?""
"This novel(?) is a summary of the situation of US/Mexico border people, and then some poetry about it, with a lot of Spanish in it. I never understand what I'm supposed to do with this kind of literature. It makes me feel weird about being white. Like, it's stupid that people I share a race with were mean to the people who were already here, but I feel like there's not much I can do about it, besides trying not to be racist. Anyway. I'm still trying to figure out how I feel about it. I learned a lot about Chicano/border culture, but I wouldn't call it "fun" reading."
"This book helped change my life, Gloria is so incredible, brilliant writer and thinker. She helped me understand the complexity of life as a Latino growing up in the US and trying to live a virtuous life. This book is astounding, complex, hybrid. Rereading it now, I'm appreciating it's depth on so many different levels!"
