Here are the instructions for essay #2:
Discuss the multiple locations (intersections of identity such as race, gender, sexuality, class, disability status, citizenship status, language and faith/spirituality) of feminist theorizing and the feminist methodologies that Gloria Anzaldua, Laura Aguilar, and Osa Hidalgo de la Riva activate in their work. This requires a re-reading of their work and locating the ways in which they disrupt a one-dimensional feminist lens and incorporate a politics of feminist theorizing that is intersectional, contradictory, fluid, and community based. For full credit you must address the work of all three Chicanas: Gloria Anzaldua, Laura Aguilar, and Osa Hidalgo de la Riva. I encourage you to start building on your essay as we go through the next three weeks reading these works.
Your essay should be a minimum of 5 pages, doubled spaced, MLA, Chicago, or APA format. Please include a works cited page. You are expected to cite the work of all three writers and artists, including Marcena Barris-Gomezs work on Laura Aguilar. Do not write more than 7 pages, I will stop reading at the end of page 7.
