Conclusion: Beyond Survival. 330 $aThis book explores how Chicana literature often represents gender violence while simultaneously presenting strategies of survival in response. Adrianna M. Santos aims to contribute to a broader conversation concerning the intersections between Chicana literature and decolonial trauma theory, one which questions the colonial matrix of power and the universality of Western knowledge. Santos argues that Chicana survival narratives arise out of colonial wounds and form scars that both mark and protect the violated body. Cicatrix Poetics, Trauma and Healing in the Literary Borderlands proposes a ?cicatrix poetics? that makes bold gestures toward healing and narrative/storytelling as survival. The book contends that the cicatrix fashioned through artistic expression is a necessary component for Chicana communities?not just to survive, but to thrive. The books presents several case studies that examine transformative narrativity and by theorizing the texts as survival narratives,social protest works that bring attention to violence and erasure, the chapters explore how literature can be an effective catalyst for both social change and personal transformation, an orientation towards freedom, liberation through love. Adrianna M. Santos is Associate Professor of English at Texas A&M University?San Antonio, USA, and advisor of the Mexican American Student Association. She has published in Aztlán, Chicana/Latina Studies, Shakespeare Bulletin and Latina Critical Feminism and is co-editor of The Bard in the Borderlands, and El Mundo Zurdo 8. . 410 0$aLiteratures of the Americas,$x2634-6028 606 $aAmerica$xLiteratures 606 $aComparative literature 606 $aLiterature$xPhilosophy 606 $aFeminism and literature 606 $aEthnology$zLatin America 606 $aCulture 606 $aPsychic trauma 606 $aNorth American Literature 606 $aComparative Literature 606 $aFeminist Literary Theory 606 $aLatino Culture 606 $aTrauma Psychology 615 0$aAmerica$xLiteratures. 615 0$aComparative literature. 615 0$aLiterature$xPhilosophy. 615 0$aFeminism and literature. 615 0$aEthnology 615 0$aCulture. 615 0$aPsychic trauma. 615 14$aNorth American Literature. 615 24$aComparative Literature. 615 24$aFeminist Literary Theory. 615 24$aLatino Culture. 615 24$aTrauma Psychology. 676 $a810.986872 700 $aSantos$b Adrianna M$01726217 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910838272903321 996 $aCicatrix Poetics, Trauma and Healing in the Literary Borderlands$94131963 997 $aUNINA
