Abstract
This project seeks to utilize Grassian conceptualizations of Italian Renaissance Humanist philosophy as a rhetorical framework to analyze Anzaldúa’s construction of community in her text Borderlands: La Frontera and the ways in which Anzaldúa utilizes lived experience to theorize the existence of a community that is capable of transcending borders.
