Quote: "Chicanas who grew up speaking Chicano Spanish have internalized the belief that we speak poor Spanish. It is illegitimate, a bastard language. And because we internalize how our language has been used against us by dominant culture, we use our language differences against each other."
Question: With Anzaldua's theory of the Mestiza consciousness in mind, how do you think this form of linguistic terrorism and "borderland" shapes Chicano into a heterogloss/isogloss (an isolation due to geography)?
