Border Women: Writing From La Frontera

Debra A. Castillo

4.3/5 ( ratings)

It is a peculiar fact that U.S.-Mexico border theory is dominated by those who write about, not from, the border. By looking at the work of women writers from both sides of the border, Debra A. Castillo and Maria-Socorro Tabuenca Cordoba open border studies to a truly transnational analysis while bringing questions of gender to the fore.Border Women rethinks border theory by emphasizing women writers whose work -- in Spanish, English, or a mixture of the two languages -- calls into question accepted notions of border identities. These writers include those who are already well recognized internationally ; those who have become part of the Chicano canon ; along with some of the lesser-known, yet most exciting, women's voices from the Mexican border .
