In The Anzaldan Theory Handbook AnaLouise Keating provides a comprehensive investigation of the foundational theories, methods, and philosophies of Gloria E. Anzalda. Through archival research and close readings of Anzalda's unpublished and published writings, Keating offers a biographical-intellectual sketch of Anzalda, investigates her writing process and theory-making methods, and excavates her archival manuscripts. Keating focuses on the breadth of Anzalda's theoretical oeuvre, including Anzalda's lesser-known concepts of autohistoria y autohistoria-teora, nos/otras, geographies of selves, and El Mundo Zurdo. By investigating those dimensions of Anzalda's theories, writings, and methods that have received less critical attention and by exploring the interconnections between these overlooked concepts and her better-known theories, Keating opens additional areas of investigation into Anzalda's work and models new ways to "do" Anzaldan theory. This book also includes extensive definitions, genealogies, and explorations of eighteen key Anzaldan theories as well as an annotated bibliography of hundreds of Anzalda's unpublished manuscripts.
