I was not aware of the factors involved in the activity and the number of people who have succumbed to it. I also did not have sufficient information about ...

Gloria Anzaldúa’s Borderland: La Frontera is a semi-real-life work that comprises text and poems that detail the indiscernible borders that are between Latinas and non-Latinas, males and females, heterosexuals and homosexuals, and various other contrasting crowds. Anzaldúa expounds that her manner of writing involves picking out images from her personality’s judgment, spinning forth the correct words to reconstruct the images (Anzaldua, 96). She asserted that reimaging of certainty in one’s mindfulness is significant because nothing transpires in the actual world lest it first takes place in the images in one’s heads (109). This ...

The campaign is facing ...

The controversy over the understanding of ethnicity and ethnicity unfolded in America and Europe in the early 1970s following the collapse of the colonial system. Many foreign and domestic scientists are engaged in the consideration of the complexity of inter-ethnic relations that has arisen within countries (the so-called “ethnic paradox of our time”).

Supporters of this trend claim that the ethnic consciousness can have multiple layers; it can be forked and split ...

The main idea of Gloria Anzaldúa's Borderlands/La Frontera, and Arturo Schomburg's "The Negro Digs Up His Past", is the same – to ensure colored people that they are not worse than the whites and that they should be proud of their ancestors.

There local people were pressured by the Americans and treated by them ...
