Description

Kelli D. Zaytoun is a professor and the director of graduate studies in the Department of English Language and Literatures at Wright State University.

"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
