By: SuperSummary

Narrated by: Molly Gallegos

SuperSummary, a modern alternative to SparkNotes and CliffsNotes, offers high-quality instructional study guides for challenging works of literature. This audio study guide for Borderlands / La Frontera by Gloria Anzaldúa includes detailed summary and analysis of each chapter and an in-depth exploration of the book’s multiple symbols, motifs, and themes such as the intersectionality of Chicana, feminist, and queer identities; identity as language; and writing as performance. Featured content also includes commentary on major characters, 25 important quotes, essay questions, and discussion topics.

This creative nonfiction essay collection presents the US-Mexico border as a space ripe for sociocultural, psychological, and historical deconstruction. Writing in both Spanish and English, Anzaldúa transcends the dualities of the mestiza (a woman of both indigenous and Spanish descent) to heal divides of culture, gender, class, and race.

This audio study guide presents the same expert content - written by experienced teachers, professors, and literary scholars - in an easy-to-access audio format. SuperSummary study guides demonstrate an authoritative voice, present expert analysis, offer big picture ideas, and help listeners understand a work’s underlying meanings and conclusions.
