Compared excerpts of Gloria Anzaldúa’s Borderlands/La Frontera with the StephenCrane short story, “The Bride Comes to Yellow Sky.” Class concentrated on Anzaldúa as students were not able to discuss the Crane story very much. Instead, discussed Anzaldua’s influential argument, and students discussed the following key terms from her book: “mestiza,” “borderlands,” and “consciousness.” Where are the “borderlands”? As a psychic and a physical place? Where does one end and the other begin? What separates north from south? What do borders mean?”
