definitely some stuff from Borderlands/La Frontera... also, I had this AMAZING reader called "the Meaning of Difference: American Constructions of Race, Sex and Gender, Social Class, and Sexual Orientation" ... sounds meh but there was some really wonderful stuff in it that totally gave me words to explain all the things I felt. I'm not sure it would fit into the curriculum for the class but it's worth looking through for essays since it's a compilation. Another one I'm thinking of for the disability stuff is "The Difference that Disability Makes" by Rod Michalko.. also really really great. I hope you include things from feminist zines! You definitely know more than me about what would be best. I wish I could have been instructed to read doris or something in college for feminist classes, that would have been amazing. Also.. "This Bridge We Call Home" may have some good stuff in it... it's a sequel of a sorts to "This Bridge Called My Back". There is a lot more written about trans issues in that. Hope that helps! I'm totally jealous of your task to help create curriculum... that's something I think about all the time like... if I were teaching a class on this, WHAT TEXTS WOULD I REQUIRE?! so exciting.
