“RG,” the entitled chapter of Oscar Casares’ Brownsville, presents a unique perspective of the division of culture and social respect that exists between Anglos and Hispanics within the Borderland communities. Moreover, throughout the analyzed passage, RG, the narrator, critiques his neighbor’s physical and macho appearance while simultaneously justifying his criticism to the audience. Furthermore, it becomes apparent throughout the paragraph that the narrator’s selected words are like weapons of

mestiza that implies a lady who lives on the very outskirt between various societies and nations. Anzaldua's real work is 'Borderlands/La Frontera' which was distributed in 1987. It portrays individuals who live on the fringe between the United States and Mexico and clarifies the political, financial, and profound impact of the European triumph of local people groups on the borderland. The book comprises of two areas: in the initial segment, there are seven papers, and in the second part, there are a

An analysis of Gloria Anzaldúa‘s The New Mestiza and James Baldwin’s The Fire Next Time reveals that humans oppress themselves based on their differences. This is turn prevents them from identifying themselves as part of the human race. In his writings, Baldwin offers a solution to this hurdle that targets the apparent causes of the problem. However, Andalzua’s analysis of human difference reveals a few flaws in Baldwin’s view of the problem as well as his proposed solution to putting an end to human

is heavily militarized and border crossing is demonized. The 1970s marked a shift in border control policies, and since then cross border relations have become more and more strained. Cadava, in Standing on Common Ground: The Making of a Sunbelt Borderland noted that in the post-war era, “the Good Neighbor policy shaped U.S.-Mexico

In this qualitative study I use narrative inquiry to learn about the stories of school leaders working towards ensuring that all students have the opportunities to succeed. I have situated my inquiry at the borderlands of narrative inquiry and critical race theory. This study looks to merge the valuing of the individual life (Clandinin & Connelly, 2000; Connelly & Clandinin, 1990) with the theoretical lens of critical race theory (Crenshaw et al., 1995; Delgado & Stefancic, 2012; Ladson-Billings

Hell hath no fury like a mad man with delusions of grandeur. In the video game and comic series Borderlands, a powerful dictator of the savage planet, Pandora, seeks an ultimate power from within the planet in order to cleanse his self-claimed land of heinous beings. Surely, only a mad man could possibly consider genocide as a solution. Unfortunately, a mad man he is. Rising from traumatic past, his intentions brim with madness and blind determination. Hinted by the series’ name—coincidence or not—

remembers women based on their slight participation in the women’s suffrage movement. On the other hand, Shannon M. Risk’s article, “Against Women’s Suffrage”, gives an insight on the arguments Maine and New Brunswick had and stated the actions each borderland took. The arguments that Maine and New Brunswick have are similar but are expressed differently with different results. Although, Lamont’s argument is more effective and useful because she uses one example to prove her point while Risk proves her

Interviewer: Today, I am interviewing Gloria Anzaldua on her book, Borderlands/La Frontera: The New Mestiza. Gloria’s book is inspired by her memories of living on the U.S.-Mexico border as a Mexican-American. The book combines Gloria’s own writing along with works from other creative minds to express her ideas on the U.S.-Mexico border and how that border affects the lives of Mexican-Americans. I will specifically question her on the ways she thinks the border shapes the cultural development of

Perspectives from Tropic of Orange Tropic of Orange was a noel by Yamashita that offered readers a new way to look upon the world around us and to not let borderlands divide us. These borderlands are physical and social borders that divide us from one another, making the unity of the people a very difficult task. While reading Yamashita’s Tropic of Orange, I was able to see the strength of these characters exhibit through their actions and choices throughout the novel. Because I was able to read
