Description
Book SynopsisEntre Guadalupe y Malinche is the first-ever collection of Tejana literary and artistic production, gathering the writings of more than fifty authors and the artwork of eight artists.
Trade Review...the editors have brought together a truly impressive array of Tejana female artists, giving equal time to established names and rising stars. * Santa Fe New Mexican *
A volume meriting serious scholarly consideration…As homogeneity increases through processes such as globalization,
Entre Guadalupe y Malinche is a reminder of the relevance of regional particularism and how writers and artists respond to notions of place and land through constructions of imagination, memory, and community. * Western American Literature *
Entre Guadalupe y Malinche is a vibrant collection…The texts collectively imagine, create, and rewrite Tejana stories into the Texas-Mexican landscape but contest any single notion of a unified experience, be it cultural, gender, or geographical…
Entre Guadalupe y Malinche takes the reader on personal journeys of discovery, family, love, and healing all while rooted in the larger paradigm of the decolonial imaginary. * Journal of American Studies *
