ALT A photo of Gloria Anzaldúa. The heading says "TMC Weekly Theme" and the subheading says “Latine Heritage Month.” The copy says: “‘The new mestiza copes by developing a tolerance for contradictions, a tolerance for ambiguity...She has a plural personality, she operates in a pluralistic mode—nothing is thrust out, the good the bad and the ugly, nothing rejected, nothing abandoned...I am participating in the creation of yet another culture, a new story to explain the world and our participation in it, a new value system with images and symbols that connect us to each other and to the planet. Soy un amasamiento, I am an act of kneading, of uniting and joining that not only has produced both a creature of darkness and a creature of light, but also a creature that questions the definitions of light and dark and gives them new meanings.’ Gloria Anzaldúa, in ‘Borderlands/La Frontera: The New Mestiza’”
