Publisher's Synopsis
"This volume gathers selected academic and creative works from the 2019 meeting of the Society and recognizes the importance and sustained impact of Anzaldúa's work. The productions for these edited conference proceedings have been organized into distinct categories that align with the conference tracks in El Mundo Zurdo: each work speaks to the one next to it, emphasizing the manner in which Anzaldúan thought travels across communities-from the personal to the political, from the academic to the activist, from the creative to the spiritual. Part I, Anzaldúa in and out of Academia: Theory & Pedagogy, focuses on sustaining Anzaldúa's legacy and teaching her work both in academic and public settings. Part II. Telling Lives: Testimonios, Autohistoria, Oral History, and Autoethnography brings together authors who are participating in the legacy of storytelling and theorizing from personal experience, history, creative expression, and social
