Anzaldúa's unusual combination of scholarly research, folk tales, personal narrative, poetry and political manifesto, forms a powerful and cohesive whole. - San Francisco Chronicle Review
Anzaldúa is an accomplished writer, able to marshal passionate intensity in support of her attempt to do away with dualities. - Journal of the Southwest
She has chosen the most difficult task; that of mediating cultures without concession or dilution. - Women's Review of Books
Propelled by a strong indigenist current, Anzaldúa assumes a prophetic voice to create-by mythic, spiritual, mystic, intuitive and imaginative means-a new vision... - The Americas Review
Many of the best pieces...combine the theoretical essay with poetry and personal narration, reflecting a breadth of emotion that most people keep tightly concealed. This is the book's primary purpose, to give voice to thoughts and feelings which have been privatized and occluded. - Publishers Weekly
Anzaldúa brings a poetic style steeped in Chicano/Chicana history and Aztec myth to bear upon issues that are too often treated in dry, theoretical terms...subverts the white middle-class perspective of much mainstream feminism with analysis, testimony, story, and song. - Utne Reader
