Description: "First mentioned by Gloria Anzaldúa in her pioneering book Borderlands/La Frontera, spiritual mestizaje is a transformative processof excavating bodily memory to develop a radical, sustained critique of oppression and renew one's relation to the sacred. Theresa Delgadillo analyszes the role of spiritual mestizaje in Anzaldúa's work and in relation to other forms of spirituality and theories of oppression."--Back cover.
