Anzaldua & Resisting Cultural Oppression

In Borderlands/La Frontera, Gloria Anzaldua wages a resistance against many types of oppression. She not only describes her own life experiences as an atravesada/border crosser, but also uses language, storytelling, and poetry to resist those who would silence her.

For this essay, I’d like you to answer this question:

How does Gloria Anzaldua use her text to resist cultural oppression?
In order to answer your question, you’ll need to do the following:

Establish the nature of the oppression she is fighting: What is the cultural oppression she has experienced either directly or indirectly?
Analyze the way she resists this oppression in the book: How exactly does she resist cultural oppression in her text, either through actions she recounts, or through the act of writing?
Use specific examples to illustrate your points: Pick 1-2 short quotes which support your points in each body paragraph.
Analyze those examples carefully, always making it clear how the particular quote you chose constitutes “oppression” or “resistance:” For each quote answer the questions–how does this demonstrate oppression/resistance? So what?
