Binary Bashers Vol. 2: Latinidad - The Life and Borderlands of Gloria Anzaldúa

<p>Gloria Anzaldúa spent her life writing from the borderlands—between languages, cultures, genders, bodies, and ways of belonging. From the fields of South Texas to <em>Borderlands/La Frontera</em>, she transformed experiences of linguistic policing, chronic pain, queerness, and cultural displacement into a radical language for multiplicity.</p><p>In this episode of <em>Binary Bashers: Latinidad</em>, Ross Victory traces Anzaldúa’s life, her concept of the border as an open wound, her reclamation of <em>mita y mita</em>, and her insistence that identity cannot always be contained by inherited categories. Her work asks what becomes possible when we stop treating the in-between as confusion—and begin recognizing it as its own place of knowledge.</p><p>If you notice any factual errors, please contact us at <a href="mailto:stories@embracingallofme.org">stories@embracingallofme.org</a>.
