Borderlands: Tales from Disputed Territories between Races and Cultures now available! ($1)

After several months of work, Borderlands, the sequel to MXD: True Stories by Mixed-Race Writers, is now in print. Get yours today. Borderlands gives mixed and bicultural folks a forum to share their experiences with the world. In this issue: Jessie describes how drag performance allowed him to feel complete and connected to both his white mother as well as his Chicano father. Stevie travels to his mother’s hometown, Augusta, GA, only to find that all signs of the Asian community there have been erased. Shannon examines the roles of alcoholism and internalized oppression in her family and experience of growing up mixed. Nia breaks down the assumption of whiteness in queer communities. Lauren explains how being mixed and being queer intersect in her life. Lastly, Claire visits Mexico to try and recover a lost history. Email me at oxette@riseup.net for a copy!
