Welcome to borderlands!
Borderlands is named in honor of Gloria E. Anzaldúa's book Borderlands/La Frontera: The New Mestiza, which gives a breathtaking narrative of the convergence of Latino and American culture.
Like Gloria, Borderlands seeks to explore the merging of cultures. By providing quality reviews of French/Spanish books, movies, and youtube channels, Borderlands strives to help its readers strengthen their language skills and encourage the mixing of these cultures.
In order to help readers find the resources that best fit their interests and skill levels, each review contains a summary, mini-critique, and difficulty rating. We post new reviews every Monday, with the exception of the summer months and end-of-semester time periods (December and June), when posts are more sporadic due to school and work conflicts.
