Prieta Is Dreaming

<p><b>A generative genre-bending collection of nineteen intertwined stories by legendary writer theorist and activist Gloria E. Anzaldúa.</b></p><p>Best known for <i>Borderlands/La Frontera: The New Mestiza</i> (1987) Gloria E. Anzaldúa was also a prolific fiction writer. <i>Prieta Is Dreaming</i> a speculative novel-in-stories<i> </i>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 <i>Prieta Is Dreaming</i> 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.</p>
