Jose Marti versus Ruben Dario?: Provincialismo contra Ruben Dario
ISBN: 9781502434166 / Hiszpański / Miękka / 470 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Motivado por una percepcion errada en el sur de la Florida, especialmente en la comunidad cubana, los intelectuales y periodistas han hecho creer que Ruben Dario nunca hubiera sido poeta sin la influencia de Jose Marti. Que Marti fue su maestro. Lo anterior es totalmente falso. Cierto que Marti tuvo alguna influencia en Dario, pero en su prosa politica. Dario tomo todo lo bueno de la literatura universal, de Francia, Espana, Italia, greco-latina, oriental, pero muy especialmente de los Parnasianos. Segun los criticos, Dario uso todo lo existente en poesia, lo mezclo y creo su propio estilo,...

Chica Lit: Popular Latina Fiction and Americanization in the Twenty-First Century

Winner, 2016 ALA-Choice Outstanding Academic Title In Chica Lit: Popular Latina Fiction and Americanization in the Twenty-First Century, Tace Hedrick illuminates how discourses of Americanization, ethnicity, gender, class, and commodification shape the genre of "chica lit," popular fiction written by Latina authors with Latina characters. She argues that chica lit is produced and marketed in the same ways as contemporary romance and chick lit fiction, and aimed at an audience of twenty- to thirty-something upwardly mobile Latina readers. Its stories about young women's...

Spanish Women Travelers at Home and Abroad, 1850-1920: From Tierra del Fuego to the Land of the Midnight Sun
ISBN: 9781611487176 / Angielski / Miękka / 426 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Between 1850 and 1920 women's travel and travel writing underwent an explosion. It was an exciting period in the history of travel, a golden age. While transportation had improved, mass tourism had not yet robbed journeys of their aura of adventure. Although British women were at the forefront of this movement, a number of intrepid Spanish women also participated in this new era of travel and travel writing. They transcended general societal limitations imposed on Spanish women at a time when the refrain "la mujer en casa, y con la pata quebrada" described most of their female compatriots,...

Chicana/O and Latina/O Fiction: The New Memory of Latinidad
ISBN: 9780252039911 / Angielski / Twarda / 280 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In this new study, Ylce Irizarry moves beyond literature that prioritizes assimilation to examine how contemporary fiction depicts being Cuban, Dominican, Mexican, or Puerto Rican within Chicana/o and Latina/o America. Irizarry establishes four dominant categories of narrative--loss, reclamation, fracture, and new memory--that address immigration, gender and sexuality, cultural nationalisms, and neocolonialism. As she shows, narrative concerns have moved away from the weathered notions of arrival and assimilation. Contemporary Chicana/o and Latina/o literatures instead tell stories that have...

This is a critical study of the construction of gendered spaces through feminine labor and capital in Puerto Rican literature and film (1950-2010).

Chicana/o literature frequently depicts characters who exist in a vulnerable liminal space, living on the border between Mexican and American identities, and sometimes pushed to the edge by authorities who seek to restrict their freedom. As this groundbreaking new study reveals, the books themselves have occupied similarly precarious positions, as Chicana/o literature has struggled for economic viability and visibility on the margins of the American publishing industry, while Chicana/o writers have grappled with editorial practices that compromise their creative autonomy.
