In brief: In an interview with Andrea Lunsford, Anzaldua discusses her relationship to language and writing, saying that "In the process of writing, you're reflecting on all of the things that make you different, that make you the same, that make you a freak. You're constantly grappling with identity issues. Postcoloniality looks at this power system discipline--whether it's a government, whether it's anthropology, or composition--and it asks, Who has the voice? Who says these are the rules? Who makes the law?" Anzaldua talks about a mestiza rhetoric, a writing style that makes visible the lived contradictions and transformations of its practitioners.
