Sumario:The article focuses on an interview with Gloria Anzaldúa, a prominent Chicana feminist, poet, and cultural theorist, discussing her views on spirituality, identity, and the intersections of politics and personal experience. Anzaldúa emphasizes her belief in a spirit-infused world and critiques the academic reluctance to engage with spirituality in scholarly discourse. She shares insights into her writing process, the motivations behind her influential works such as *This Bridge Called My Back* and *Haciendo Caras*, and her evolving understanding of identity, particularly regarding her self-identification as queer. The conversation highlights her commitment to exploring complex themes of solidarity among diverse groups and the importance of embracing multiple identities.
