Em Heterosexualism and the Colonial/Modern Gender System (2007), propus uma leitura da relação entre o colonizador e o/a colonizado/a em termos de gênero, raça e sexualidade. Com isso eu não pretendia adicionar uma leitura gendrada e uma leitura racial às já sabidas relações coloniais. Ao invés disso, eu propus uma releitura da própria modernidade capitalista colonial moderna. Isso se dá porque a imposição colonial do gênero atravessa questões sobre ecologia, economia, governo, relaciona-se ao mundo espiritual e ao conhecimento, bem como cruza práticas cotidianas que tanto nos habituam a cuidar do mundo ou a destruí-lo. Proponho este quadro conceitual não como uma abstração da experiência vivida, mas como uma lente que nos permita ver o que está escondido de nossas compreensões sobre raça e gênero e sobre as relações de cada qual à heterossexualidade normativa.

Borderlands/La Frontera deads with the psychology of resistance to oppression. The possibility of resistance is revealed by perceiving the self in the process of being oppressed as another face of the self in the process of resisting oppression. The new mestiza consciousness is bom from this interplay between oppression and resistance. Resistance is understood as social, collective activity, by adding to Anzaldúa's theory the distinction between the act and the process of resistance.

This review looks at Sarah Hoagland's Lesbian Ethics from the position of a lesbian who is also a cultural participant in a colonized heterosexualist culture (la cultura Nuevomejicana) within the powerful context of its colonizing heterosexualist culture (Angloamerican culture). From this position separation from heterosexualism acquires great complexity since the position described is that of a plural self. In Lesbian Ethics lesbian community is the community of separation where demoralization is avoided by auto‐koenonous selves. Because heterosexualism is not a Cross‐cultural or international system but a series of systems some of which dominate over others and threaten their extinction, lesbian pluralism cannot be achieved through the inclusion of lesbians of different cultures, classes and situations in a separating group. Neither the need for nor the value of separation from heterosexualism are undermined by the increased complexity that this position adds to the analysis.

A paper about cross-cultural and cross-racial loving that emphasizes the need to understand and affirm the plurality in and among women as central to feminist ontology and epistemology. Love is seen not as fusion and erasure of difference but as incompatible with them. Love reveals plurality. Unity–not to be confused with solidarity–is understood as conceptually tied to domination.

"This book provides an introduction to the key arguments in decolonial feminism, particularly, the coloniality of gender, the critique of white and Eurocentric feminisms, the imbrication between gender, race, and colonialism, feminicides, and the coloniality of democracy and public institutions"
