Gender and the Self in Latin American Literature
Routledge (Verlag)
978-0-415-70831-9 (ISBN)
Myth, exile and the female body are the three central themes for understanding the personal, social and political aims of the Post-Boom women writers whose work is explored in this volume: Isabel Allende, Laura Esquivel, Ángeles Mastretta, Sylvia Molloy, Cristina Peri Rossi and Zoé Valdés. Their adoption, and adaptation, of an originally eighteenth-century and European literary genre is seen here to reshape the global canon as much as it works to reshape our understanding of gendered identities as socially constructed, culturally contingent, and open-ended.
Emma Staniland is a Teaching Fellow in Spanish American Studies at the University of Leicester, UK. Her research interests include Spanish American women’s writing, Latino/a culture and literature with a particular focus on US writers with roots in the Hispanic Caribbean, genre studies, and feminist literary theory.
