This Bridge Called My Back, Fortieth Anniversary Edition:
Writings by Radical Women of Color
Cherríe Moraga (Editor) Gloria Anzaldúa (Editor)
“This Bridge Called My Back … dispels all doubt about the power of a single text to radically transform the terrain of our theory and practice. Twenty years after its publication, we can now see how it helped to untether the production of knowledge from its disciplinary anchors–and not only in the field of women’s studies. This Bridge has allowed us to define the promise of research on race, gender, class and sexuality as profoundly linked to collaboration and coalition-building. And perhaps most important, it has offered us strategies for transformative political practice that are as valid today as they were two decades ago.”
— Angela Davis, University of California, Santa Cruz
