A generative, genre-bending collection of nineteen intertwined stories by legendary writer, theorist, and activist Gloria E. Anzaldúa. Finalist for the 2026 PROSE Award in the Literature Category Best known for Borderlands/La Frontera: The New Mestiza (1987), Gloria E. Anzaldúa was also a prolific fiction writer. Prieta Is Dreaming, a speculative novel-in-stories,follows the precocious Prieta from her childhood in South Texas to college and beyond as she tries to find her way in the world. Imbued with supernatural powers, Prieta traverses time, changes form, explores her desires, and defies convention. Started in the 1970s and revised up until Anzaldúa's death in 2004, Prieta Is Dreaming comes as a revelation, affirming Anzaldúa's place at the forefront of contemporary feminist, queer, and border theory, while transforming what we think about both her writing and ourselves. In these nineteen intertwined stories, we find some of Anzaldúa's most adventurous, inspired ideas about gender, sexuality, and the very nature of existence—as well as a character, la Prieta, as bold and memorable as the book itself.

Essäer om historiska skott, dofternas språk, ormarnas inre. Dikter om före och om efter. Skalövningar. Foton som tittar tillbaka. Vägar till att överskrida den tänkbara framtiden, för Gaza, för alla. Och så några avslutande frågor.

I sin berömda essä »Tala i tungor: ett brev till tredje världens skrivande kvinnor« [1979] skriver Gloria E. Anzaldúa i brevform om rasismen inom såväl litteraturvärlden som den samtida feministiska rörelsen; om att som rasifierad kvinna besegra tvivlet och självhatet och erövra modet att skriva; och om de möjligheter som skrivandets rörliga dialog med jaget och världen öppnar upp. I översättning och med ett introducerande förord av poeten Burcu Sahin. GLORIA E. ANZALDÚA [1942-2004] var en amerikansk poet, författare, aktivist och kulturteoretiker, vars tänkande har haft stort inflytande på queerteori, postkolonial feminism och latinx-studier. Hon tematiserar ofta mellanförskap och hybriditet i ett skrivande som blandar poesi, essäistik, prosa och teori. Hon är känd framför allt för Borderlands/ La Frontera The New Mestiza [1987], ett storslaget hybridverk om att växa upp på gränsen mellan Mexiko och Texas, och om de politiska, kulturella och sexuella gränser som separerar människor. Hon är också känd för att tillsammans med poeten Cherríe Moraga ha redigerat den klassiska feministiska antologin This Bridge Called My Back: Writings by Radical Women of Color [1981]. Där återfinns även Anzaldúas »Tala i tungor: ett brev till tredje världens skrivande kvinnor«.

Ever since she can remember, Prietita has heard frightening stories about la Llorona--the legendary ghost woman who steals children at night. One day, when Prietita goes in search of the missing herb that can help cure her mother's illness, she becomes lost in the woods. Suddenly she hears a distant crying sound and sees flashes of white in the trees. Could it be the ghost woman from her grandmother's stories? In her second book for children, Gloria Anzaldua reinterprets the famous Mexican legend of la Llorona, the ghost woman. Surrounded by the live oak and prickly pear of the Texas woods, Prietita discovers that la Llorona is not what people expect. In this magical story, Prietita's search for the healing rue plant turns into a powerful journey of self-discovery.

Born in the RÍo Grande Valley of south Texas, independent scholar and creative writer Gloria AnzaldÚa was an internationally acclaimed cultural theorist. As the author of Borderlands / La Frontera: The New Mestiza, AnzaldÚa played a major role in shaping contemporary Chicano/a and lesbian/queer theories and identities. As an editor of three anthologies, including the groundbreaking This Bridge Called My Back: Writings by Radical Women of Color, she played an equally vital role in developing an inclusionary, multicultural feminist movement. A versatile author, AnzaldÚa published poetry, theoretical essays, short stories, autobiographical narratives, interviews, and children’s books. Her work, which has been included in more than 100 anthologies to date, has helped to transform academic fields including American, Chicano/a, composition, ethnic, literary, and women’s studies. This reader-which provides a representative sample of the poetry, prose, fiction, and experimental autobiographical writing that AnzaldÚa produced during her thirty-year career-demonstrates the breadth and philosophical depth of her work. While the reader contains much of AnzaldÚa’s published writing (including several pieces now out of print), more than half the material has never before been published. This newly available work offers fresh insights into crucial aspects of AnzaldÚa’s life and career, including her upbringing, education, teaching experiences, writing practice and aesthetics, lifelong health struggles, and interest in visual art, as well as her theories of disability, multiculturalism, pedagogy, and spiritual activism. The pieces are arranged chronologically; each one is preceded by a brief introduction. The collection includes a glossary of AnzaldÚa’s key terms and concepts, a timeline of her life, primary and secondary bibliographies, and a detailed index.
