Overview
- Expands on a discourse that begins with Gloria Anzaldúa's view of the "border" as a ‘bleeding’ of categories into one another rather than as discrete spaces and identities
- Addresses the history of philosophical discourse that emphasizes the concept of liminality
- Discusses how an awareness of liminality can expand the possibilities for discourse relating to identity and conceptual systems

About this book
Reviews
“How rare to find a volume that is truly committed to crossing disciplinary boundaries—rarer still, one that does it well. Borderlands and Liminal Subjects does both, rigorously applying the foundational insights of feminist border-thinking to novel and compelling sites within philosophy, literature, and the under-theorized space between them.” (Holly Moore, Associate Professor of Philosophy, Luther College, USA)
