Latina Feminism

Cherríe Moraga's landmark Chicana lesbian feminist essays and poems examine family, racialized labor, desire, language, and coalition. This reading centers the 1983 original, not every piece in the expanded 2023 edition.

This interdisciplinary reader pairs bilingual essays, art, testimony, and responses to explore Chicana feminist debates on history, borders, sexuality, class, and representation.

María Lugones develops coalition as a situated practice: remembering plural selves, reading resistance across social worlds, and changing the relations that make oppression seem inescapable.

A Latina feminist collective uses testimonios to connect life stories, academic institutions and collaborative knowledge without erasing differences.

Gloria Anzaldúa’s 1990 anthology challenges who gets to make feminist theory, bringing poetry, memoir, fiction, art, and scholarship into a coalition built across difference.
