More About This Book

Overview

The Spanish translation and adaptation of This Bridge Called My Back: Writings by Radical Women of Color, rendered by Norma Alarcon and Ana Castillo. Adapted for a Latina readership, Esta puente, mi espalda contains personal narratives, essays, and poems by radical women of color in the U.S. including Barbara Smith, Gloria Anzaldua, Chrystos, Nellie Wong, Aurora Levins Morales, and many more.

The term 'women of color' includes those of Asian, African, Latin American and Native American descent, who distinguish themselves politically from the dominant culture. They expose and analyze, from a feminist standpoint, the racism that exists in U.S. society, including feminist groups dominated by white women, and the sexism that pervades life..." writes the Mexican women's monthly fem.

This is an enriching book. Through reading it, we Latin American feminist women can identify the racism pervading our societies as well, which try as we may to conceal it does affect our personal and political relationships. Likewise, classism... undermines our solidarity, as does homophobia which hurts lesbians, and sexism, from which many women have not yet freed themselves.

The Chicana editors of Esta puente, mi espalda have rekindled the feminine form of puente (bridge) that existed poetically in old Spanish.
