Call for Papers Queer Perspectives in Anzaldúa: Post/Borderlands Call for Papers Queer Perspectives in Anzaldúa: Post/Borderlands:The writings and life of Gloria Evangelina Anzaldúa (1942-2004) havehad an immense impact in a variety of disciplines. Her oft-cited textBorderlands/La Frontera: The New Mestiza (1987) is included in many university courses’ reading lists for its contributions to discoursesof hybridity, linguistics, intersectionality and women of colorfeminism, among others. Unfortunately, most scholars content themselves with the intricacies of Borderlands to the neglect of her corpus of work, which includes essays, books, edited volumes, children’s literature and fiction/autohistorias.
