In "This Bridge Called My Back," Gloria Anzaldua wrote: "A woman
who writes has power. A woman who writes is feared. In the eyes of
the world this makes us dangerous beasts." Her statement marked a
moment of collective self-recognition. "Radical Chicana Poetics"
considers this moment as a point of entry into Chicana writings.
Offering a transdisciplinary analysis of works by Anzaldua, Cherrie
Moraga, Ana Castillo, Emma Perez, Alicia Gaspar de Alba, and Sandra
Cisneros, this book explores how radical Chicanas deal with
tensions that arise from their focus on the body, desire, and
writing. Delving into the subtle differences between the authors,
Ricardo F. Vivancos Perez sheds new light on contemporary cultural
production and feminist activism, and reflects upon positionality
and ethics in Chican@ and Latin@ scholarship.
