All posts by Norma Elia Cantú

Born in Nuevo Laredo, Tamaulipas and raised in Laredo, Texas, Norma Elia Cantú is intimately bound to the U.S.-Mexico border region. As a scholar, she focuses on issues of borders and boundaries, whether in academic disciplines or the geopolitical borderlands of Mexico and the United States, all through a Chicana feminist theoretical lens. She writes poetry and prose, what she calls creative autobioethnography, also with a focus on the borderlands and heavily rooted in the cultural traditions of the region.
