La Prieta
La Prieta is a 1981 essay by the Tejana feminist scholar Gloria E. Anzaldúa, originally published in the anthology This Bridge Called My Back. About
The essay explores Anzaldúa's identity as a white/mestiza Tejana from a formerly affluent, sixth-generation Texan family. She explores the racism, colorism, sexism, heteronormativity, and classism of her parents and grandparents, who scorned her for being too dark-skinned and who identified with whiteness and Americanness rather than with Mexican, Indigenous, and Black people. The essay belongs to the Nettie Lee Benson Latin American Collection at The University of Texas at Austin, having acquired Anzaldúa's works in 2005. See also
