Here, I read Moraga’s prefaces, forewords, and introductions to the groundbreaking anthology-including the 1988 Spanish language edition Esta puente, mi espalda: voces de mujeres tercermundistas en los estados unidos edited by Moraga and Ana Castillo (1988), and the 1981, 1983, and 2002 English language editions coedited by Moraga and Gloria Anzaldúa-as a conceptual map for understanding how she has theorized solidarity and women of color activism in the United States during more than three decades, and as a lens for thinking about ongoing transformations in feminist of color theory. ![]() Moraga’s commitment to self-reflexivity, revision, social justice, and activist writing has meant that her contributions to This Bridge remain prescient for feminist of color theory into the new millennium.
