Chicana feminist consciousness has also brought forward the role of Chicanas in organized resistance and crafting "spaces of liberation." Chicana feminist writings are grounded in intersectionality, the editors of Chicana Feminisms writing, "Our guiding metaphor for Chicana feminist writing expands on Anzaldúa's notion of Chicanas' bodies as bocacalles. Literally, bocacalle translates as an intersection where two streets cross one another" (Arredondo, Hurtado, Klahn, Nájera-RamÃrez, and Zavella, 2003, p. 2). A Chicana feminist point of view is also "rooted in Mexican history," located at the intersection of colonialism, violence, discrimination, and racial and class hierarchies, "against the backdrop of Catholicism and language repression, especially toward indigenous peoples (Castañeda 1993; González 1999)" (Arredondo, Hurtado, Klahn, Nájera-RamÃrez, and Zavella, 2003, p. 4).
