The author pioneers a new way to talk about the internal negotiation that Chicanas\/Latinas often struggle with daily regarding their identity and formal vs. cultural education. CantÚ-SÁnchez’s coined phrase of ‘mestizaje of epistemologies,’ which refers to an inclusive third space of education approach where Latinas accept, reject, and define for themselves how their formal education and cultural educaciÓn influence who they are and how they self-identify, gives us a new way to talk about this conflict and negotiation.”—Jody A.
