Within this range, calls for a coalition are clear, but questions surrounding the process of these revolutionary dialogues provide important lines of inquiry. Examining the works of authors such as Sandra Cisneros, Laura Esquivel, Carmen Boullosa, and Helena Marķa Viramontes, Anna Sandoval considers resistance to traditional cultural symbols and contemporary efforts to counteract negative representations of womanhood in literature and society. Offering a new perspective on the oppositional nature of Latina writers, Sandoval emphasizes the ways in which national literatures have privileged male authors, whose viewpoint is generally distinct from that of women?a point of departure rarely acknowledged in postcolonial theory. Applying her observations to the disciplinary, historical, and spatial facets of literary production, Sandoval interrogates the boundaries of the Latina experience. Building on the dialogues begun with such works as Sonia Saldivar-Hull's Feminism on the Border and Ellen McCracken's New Latina Narrative, this is a concise yet ambitious comparative approach to the historical and cultural connections (as well as disparities) found in Chicana and Mexicana literature. 410 0$aChicana matters series. 606 $aAmerican literature$xMexican American authors$xHistory and criticism 606 $aAmerican literature$xWomen authors$xHistory and criticism 606 $aMexican literature$xWomen authors$xHistory and criticism 606 $aFeminism in literature 606 $aWomen in literature 606 $aComparative literature$xAmerican and Mexican 606 $aComparative literature$xMexican and American 615 0$aAmerican literature$xMexican American authors$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aAmerican literature$xWomen authors$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aMexican literature$xWomen authors$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aFeminism in literature. 615 0$aWomen in literature. 615 0$aComparative literature$xAmerican and Mexican. 615 0$aComparative literature$xMexican and American. 676 $a810.9/8972 700 $aSandoval$b Anna Marie$01711786 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910808432203321 996 $aToward a Latina feminism of the Americas$94103373 997 $aUNINA
