Continuing on from yesterday’s post, and the conversation Rachelle Cruz and I are having in that post’s comments section, I wanted to think about publishing venues for women of color. I also want to think about publishing venues by women of color for women of color. Rachelle brought up Aunt Lute, the multicultural women’s press, not specifically a WOC venue, nor is it run by WOC. BUT. Aunt Lute gave us Gloria Anzaldúa’s Borderlands/La Frontera, and I can’t imagine this world without this volume in it. Aunt Lute and Gloria Anzaldúa also gave us Making Face, Making Soul, and I am wondering about the current viability of a volume of creative and critical WOC perspectives.
