ABSTRACT
In Borderlands/La Frontera: The New Mestiza, queer Chicana feminist activist and scholar Gloria Anzaldúa writes about how the world is not safe:
We shiver in separate cells in enclosed cities, shoulders hunched, barely keeping the panic below the surface of the skin, daily drinking shock along with our morning coffee, fearing the torches being set to our buildings, the attacks in the streets.
