Description
"A significant text in the scholarship of Gloria Anzaldua and in Latina/x feminisms in general. Zaytoun's in-depth analysis of la naguala, a key concept in Anzaldua's work that has been barely theorized, will move Anzaldua scholarship in new directions."--Mariana Ortega, author of In-Between: Latina Feminist Phenomenology, Multiplicity, and the Self "Shapeshifting Subjects takes us to the radical edge of many untheorized aspects of Gloria Anzaldua's theoretical toolbox including shapeshifting, naguala, and intra-relationality. Zaytoun revives the possibilities of shapeshifting for radical feminist work long preoccupied with difference and coalition building, and decolonial methods for healing colonial wounds. Shapeshifing transports ontological becoming with a dazzling array of more-than-human forms of consciousness. Brimming with nuanced critical insights and poignant reflection, you will be moved after reading this book."--Felicity Amaya Schaeffer, author of Love and Empire: Cybermarriage and Citizenship across the Americas
