ITEM OVERVIEW
More than twenty years after the groundbreaking anthology This Bridge Called My Back challenged feminists to envision new forms of communities, Anzaldua and Keating have brought together an ambitious new collection of over 80 original contributions offering a bold new vision of women-of-color consciousness for the 21st century. Through personal narratives, theoretical essays, textual collage, poetry, letters, artwork, and fiction, this new collection examines and extends the discussion of issues at the center of the first bridge, such as classism, homophobia, racism, identity politics, and community building, while exploring the additional issues of third wave feminism, Native sovereignty, lesbian pregnancy and mothering, transgendered issues, Arab-American stereotyping, Jewish identities, spiritual activism, and surviving academe. Written by women and men—both "of color" and "white," located inside and outside the United States. Motivated by a desire for social justice, This Bridge We Call Home invites feminists of all colors and genders to develop new forms of transcultural dialogues, practices, and alliances.
