Abstract

A literary criticism of the book "Borderlands/La Frontera: The New Mestiza" by Gloria Anzaldúa is presented. It explores the deconstruction of social norms and convention history with an identity that moves beyond standard thinking. It examines the symbolism of the patron saint, Virgin of Guadalupe depicting the history of Mexico and illustrates the theoretical discourse on gender and sexuality transformation.
