Editing Article[edit]

I am updating this page to fill content gaps and edit the article for biased language. Most of these edits will fall under the former category, including a new analysis section, new genre/style section, and updates/reorganizations of the current reception and background sections. You can check my sandbox for sources/a bibliography breaking down what I intend to use each source for. Please leave edit summaries for any alteration you make to the article.

Needs lots of work[edit]

Wow this article needs a lot of work, it reads like a gushing blog post written by a publisher trying to sell this book. Nothing very objective or analytical. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:8C3:C280:1130:7C67:F2C1:774C:175D (talk) 03:40, 17 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

This summary of the book is quite incomplete and not very sophisticated. It is a good start but needs to be expanded significantly.--Lawrlafo (talk) 12:57, 21 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Anzaldúa is not Mexican, she is Chicana. I am changing the link that leads to Mexican literature, which is slightly misleading.--Lawrlafo (talk) 13:01, 21 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

neither of these points addresses the accusation of neutrality made, quite unfairly against the author(s). These are pedantic objections about "sophistication." Just make your changes without accusing the author of some undue bias or misrepresentation through a claim of lacking neutrality. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.219.175.221 (talk) 16:13, 24 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Adding your complaint while doing nothing to contribute either? This article needs significant work. Far more than the simple edit I just made, but without a copy of the text at hand, I cannot properly invest in this at current time. Kirkesque (talk) 14:52, 5 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The body of this article is like a rhetorical analysis rather than offering any objective information about the book in itself. Also it seems to have a bit of original research in it. Needs to be completely overhauled by someone who read the book. Intrepidusk (talk) 07:57, 12 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

White culture vs. Latin culture? Where do you think "Latins" came from? Anzaldúa would say white vs. Chicana or Mestiza culture.24.167.53.205 (talk)
