Negotiating Feminisms examines intergenerational feminism in
Chicanx family life. It analyses literary representations of the
ways that Chicanas negotiate feminisms in the family across
generations, through the maintenance, contestation, and adaptation
of traditional gender roles. Using an original theoretical lens of
negotiation to read the works of Ana Castillo and Sandra Cisneros,
this book unpacks intergenerational resistance to patriarchal
oppression. This book shows how the works of Cisneros and Castillo
articulate a politics of negotiation that critiques the gendered
ideologies and roles of the family. In doing so, the book's
discussion not only engages with literary representations but also
connects these representations to the contextual experience of
Chicanx family life. This book calls for a rethinking of women
characters beyond limited, and limiting, familial roles and uses
the framework of feminist negotiation as a means to explore the
empowering possibilities of intergenerational female relationships.
