Popis: The essay offers a brief review of the impact of Gloria Anzaldua’s thought—in particular, of Borderlands/La Frontera—on Spanish scholarship. While the influence of this work is widespread in the scholarship produced in English literature departments in Spain, it also has an important hold in translation studies, geography, and Spanish language and literature studies. Most significantly, Anzaldua’s borderless feminist thought is incorporated in translation in a volume on third-world feminist thinkers edited by a Spanish grassroots feminist collective in order to point toward the ways in which “white” Spanish feminist discourse and practices need to change in an increasingly intercultural, interracial country.
