Relecturas y Narraciones Femeninas de la Revolucion Mexicana Coleccion Tamesis Serie A Monografias

the long version

This book analyzes the perspective of four Mexican women writers regarding the Mexican Revolution - Nellie Campobello, Elena Garro, Laura Esquivel, and Angeles Mastretta. It examines how they recover popular memory to re-create and re-insert women in the national narrative with respect to their participation in the Revolution, which extended beyond the role of soldiers, camp followers, and soldiers' wives. The work combines cultural studies with feminist critical readings and an anthropological and geographical awareness of the roles of indigenous people and ethnic minorities, while paying attention to different categories such as gender, place, race, and class, as a wholeness of spatialized identities in permanent and constant flux. - Publisher description.
