This essential teaching guide focuses on an emerging body of
literature by U.S. Latina and Latin American Women writers. It will
assist non-specialist educators in syllabus revision, new course
design and classroom presentation. The inclusive focus of the book
- that is, combining both US Latina and Latin American women
writers - is significant because it introduces a more global and
transnational way of approaching the literature. The introduction
outlines the major historical experiences that inform the
literature, the important genres, periods, movements and authors in
its evolution; the traditions and influences that shape the works;
and key critical issues of which teachers should be aware. The
collection seeks to provide readers with a variety of Latina texts
that will guarantee its long-term usefulness to teachers and
students of pan-American literature. Because it is no longer
possible to understand U.S. Latina literature without taking into
consideration the histories and cultures of Latin America, the
volume will, through its organization, argue for a more globalized
type of analysis which considers the similarities as well as the
differences in U.S. and Latin American women's cultural
productions. In this context, the term Latina evokes a diasporic,
transnational condition in order to address some of the pedagogical
issues posed by the bicultural nature which is inherent in
pan-American women's literature.
