O’Brien and Anzaldúa view the US from its borders, where it interacts with other cultures.
How does this vantage point reinforce or alter the dominant culture’s perspective of itself? What motives or principles govern white US culture’s interaction with foreign cultures?
How does this interaction relate to the democratic ideals we have studied? (Do these ideals clash, mesh, collaborate, etc. with the culture at this border?)
Consider how O’Brien’s perspective growing up in relative privilege and Anzaldúa’s as member of a marginalized culture (at the time she writes, barely recognized) shape their view of the US’s image of and interaction with the other culture?
