“The struggle is inner: Chicano, indio, American Indian, mojado, mexicano, immigrant Latino, Anglo in power, working class Anglo, Black, Asian--our psyches resemble the bordertowns and are populated by the same people.

Nothing happens in the "real" world unless it first happens in the images in our heads.”

Gloria Anzaldua
