Teaching Gloria E. Anzaldúa: Pedagogy and Practice for Our Classrooms and Communities

Book Overview

Gloria Evangelina Anzald?a--theorist, Chicana, feminist--famously called on scholars to do work that matters. This pronouncement was a rallying call, inspiring scholars across disciplines to become scholar-activists and to channel their intellectual energy and labor toward the betterment of society. Scholars and activists alike have encountered and expanded on these pathbreaking theories and concepts first introduced by Anzald?a in Borderlands/La frontera and other texts.

Teaching Gloria E. Anzald?a is a pragmatic and inspiring offering of how to apply Anzald?a's ideas to the classroom and in the community rather than simply discussing them as theory. The book gathers nineteen essays by scholars, activists, teachers, and professors who share how their first-hand use of Anzald?a's theories in their classrooms and community environments.

The collection is divided into three main parts, according to the ways the text has been used: "Curriculum Design," "Pedagogy and Praxis," and "Decolonizing Pedagogies." As a pedagogical text, Teaching Gloria E. Anzald?a also offers practical advice in the form of lesson plans, activities, and other suggested resources for the classroom. This volume offers practical and inspiring ways to deploy Anzald?a's transformative theories with real and meaningful action.
