(In)visibility is political Gloria Anzaldua

. Texte: " IAM VISIBLE - SEE THIS INDIAN FACE - YET I AM INVISIBLE. I BOTH BLIND THEN WITH MY BEAK NOSE AND AM THEIR BLIND SPOT.BUT I EXIST, WE EXIST. THEY'D LIKE TO THINK I HAVE MELTED IN THE POT. BUT I HAVEN'T, WE HAVEN'T. THE DOMINANT WHITE CULTURE IS KILLING US SLOWLY WITH ITS IGNORANCE. BY TAKING AWAY OUR SELF-DETERMINATION, IT HAS MADE US WEAK AND EMPTY. AS A PEOPLE WE HAVE RESISTED AND WE HAVE TAKEN EXPEDIENT POSITIONS, BUT WE HAVE NEVER BEEN ALLOWED TO DEVELOP UNENCUMBERED - WE HAVE NEVER BEEN ALLOWED TO BE FULLY OURSELVES."
