Need help with Part 1, Section 1: The Homeland, Aztlán / El otro México in Gloria Anzaldúa's Borderlands / La Frontera? Check out our revolutionary side-by-side summary and analysis.
Borders are set up to define the places that are safe and unsafe, to distinguish us from them. A border is a dividing line, a narrow strip along a steep edge. A borderland is a vague and undetermined place created by the emotional residue of an unnatural boundary. It is in a constant state of transition.
Borderlands/La Frontera remaps our understanding of what a "border" is, presenting it not as a simple divide between here and there, us and them, but as a psychic, social, and cultural terrain that we inhabit, and that inhabits all of us.
In Chapter 1, “The Homeland, Aztlán,” Anzaldúa writes a history of what is today the U.S.-Mexican border, while also introducing the reader to her own personal history. The chapter begins by comparing the border to the sometimes-peaceful, sometimes-violent collision of earth and ocean.
