Abstract

A border is a dividing line, a traditionally forgotten space, the place where whoever is not included within the socially accepted definition of the “normal” can be found. In the United States of America, a country of cultural Anglo-saxon domination, Latino women or women of Latino heritage are doubly marginalised. Firstly, because they live in a space dominated by a patriarchal system, the “barrio”; and secondly, because they are also inhabitants of racist North America. Their role is, therefore, to stand as bridges between two worlds. Thus, Latinas write about their experience and the experience of their community from this intersticial space that becomes now a space of cultural richness, hibridization and mestisage.
