Nepantla is a Nahuatl philosophy of dwelling in the existential middle space; between physical, spiritual, and conceptual worlds; “the land in the middle.” From the original meaning of “being at the threshold of two worlds,” nepantla has come to signify a technology of crossing through history, myths, and ideologies, the material and the spiritual: a new category in feminist theory that continues to sustain the artistic feminist visions of US women of color (Román-Odio 51; 74).
