The Wounded Heart: Writing on Cherríe Moraga by Professor Yvonne Yarbro-Bejarano (Stanford University, Department of Spanish/Portuguese). University of Texas Press, 2001

Learning from Experience: Minority Identities, Multicultural Struggles by Paula M. L. Moya
This strikingly original book provides eloquent analyses of such postmodernist feminists as Judith Butler, Donna Haraway, Norma Alarcón, and Chela Sandoval, and counters the assimilationist proposals of minority neoconservatives such as Shelby Steele and Richard Rodriguez. It advances realist proposals for multicultural education and offers an understanding of the interpretive power of Chicana feminists including Cherríe Moraga, Gloria Anzaldúa, and Helena María Viramontes. Learning from Experience enlarges our concept of identity and offers new ways to situate aspects of race, gender, class, and sexual orientation in discursive and sociopolitical contexts.
