Anzalduan Theory

The Anzaldúa Theory, based on Gloria Anzaldúa’s work, explores how cultural identity, language, and social power influence individuals and communities. It emphasizes embracing multiple identities and borderlands—both literal and metaphorical—where different cultures, languages, and perspectives intersect. Anzaldúa advocates for recognizing and honoring these diversity spaces, encouraging self-awareness, resilience, and liberation from societal constraints. Her theory highlights how embracing hybridity and complexity can foster personal growth and social justice, promoting inclusivity and understanding across cultural boundaries.
