Description: Post-Borderlandia examines why gender variance is such a core theme in contemporary Chicana and Chicanx narratives. Cuevas explores how a new generation of Chicanx writers, performers, and filmmakers are drawing on a rich tradition of challenging heteropatriarchal norms to offer new directions for Chicana feminist theory.

Review Quotes: "Post-Borderlandia indeed creates an archive showing that gender variance is central to Chicana literature. Further, it shows that such intersectional non-normativity is, in the words of Rosario Castellanos quoted by Cuevas, "Otro modo de ser humano y libre" 'Another way of being human and free'"-- "Studies in 20th and 21st Century Literature"
