Our Sisters’ Voices’
One of the foremost translators of
Third World women’s poetrv and
prose is coming to Eugene this week
and will speak twice.
Born in New York City in 1936 and
having spent her youth on the New
Mexican desert, Margaret Randall left
this country in her early twenties. For
the next 23 years, until her return in
January of 1984, she lived in Mexico,
Cuba, and Nicaragua. She worked as
a midwife, translated Latin American
poetry and prose, and became in
volved in the women’s movement. Her
travels also took her to Vietnam, Peru,
and Chile where she listened to
women’s stories and wrote about their
lives; and she lectured and shared her
poetry and that of others.
An internationally acclaimed
author of more than 40 books, Mar
garet was also the co-founder and
editor of the bilingual literary quarter
ly El Como Emplumado (The Plum
ed Hom), a bridge between cultures
in the decade of the sixties. A poet,
photographer, oral historian, activist,
and teacher, much of her work over
the past 20 years has centered on
women and “people’s” culture. She
currently teaches in the Women’s
Studies Program and American Stud
ies Department at the University of
New Mexico (Albuquerque), and
reads and lectures throughout the
country.
Margaret is currently fighting a
deportation order by the U.S. Immi
gration and Naturalization Service
(INS). In 1967, while writing and
editing in Mexico City, Margaret
became a Mexican citizen, and un
knowingly relinquished her American
citizenship. When she returned to the
United States in 1984, she applied for
American citizenship. Last Novem
ber, the INS ordered her deported
based on her leftist political beliefs,
acerbic criticism of U.S. foreign
policy and past support for revolution
in Vietnam, Cuba, and Nicaragua.
She is mounting a legal challenge to
