A collection of essays using Gloria Anzaldua's archival works to further explore and reassess the meaning of her legacy. In the 1980s, Gloria Anzaldua's pioneering Borderlands/La Frontera and This Bridge Called My Back created new and durable trajectories for feminist, queer, Latinx, and postcolonial thought. Still, much of her writing was never published. Drawing on Anzaldua's impressive archive-manuscript drafts, personal memorabilia, correspondence, and drawings held at the Benson Collection at the University of Texas, Austin-this volume explores what we are still learning from a pathbreaking scholar more than twenty years after her death. Changing Our Minds with Gloria Anzaldua gathers essays from eleven writers working in diverse fields, including philosophy, literature, geography, performance studies, and visual arts. All have been powerfully influenced by Anzaldua, and after examining her archives, all came to know her work anew. Each chapter relates discoveries among the unpublished materials, illuminating Anzaldua's celebrated texts and raising novel questions. A meditation, as well, on archivalism itself, Changing Our Minds reckons with the power of dusty papers to motivate new generations of readers outside the geographies and academic departments in which Anzaldua has long been a fixture.
