Border-Lines XIII book jacket"Jotería Arts, Activism, and Scholarship as Resistance"

In this special issue, the contributors were asked to submit work on the art, activism, and scholarship of Jotería. These studies answer the question Anzaldúa (2009) asks when theorizing queer/feminist alliances:

Why do we make alliances and participate in them? We are searching for powerful, meaning-making experiences. To make our lives relevant, to gain political knowledge, to give our lives a sense of involvement, to respond to social oppression and its debilitating effects. (141)
