Anzaldua in her
“Preface,” does a terrific job illustrating a language without borders; most
interestingly her concept of “cross-pollinating,” the use of multiple Spanish
dialects and English combine for a rich writing style.
She achieves
greater heights in “Towards a New Consciousness,” most notably the idea of a
tolerance for ambiguity; this concept allows for an inclusive, whole, and
flexible perspective.
Gish Jen
accomplishes a moving homeland in the sense of identity, from a Chinese
perspective we witness the staying power of the Irish; Jen ends the story with an idea
of honorary members and permanent residences outside of our hereditary homelands.
Thomas King subtly
depicts driving away from borders and their property to disappear, maybe
offering an insight to the overall approach to the negative differences that
are defined by ‘geographic’ borders by turning them into something positive.
