Writing from the Borderlands

A Study of Chicano, Afro-Caribbean and Native Literatures in North America

von Carmen Caliz-Montroro

Taschenbuch

Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

This work looks at three "borderlands" literary responses: those of the Chicanos at the border between the southern United States and Mexico, the African Caribbean minority in Canada, and the Native North Americans. Carmen Cáliz-Montoro shows how in these diverse yet similar cases mythology and symbolism get transformed and recreated to respond to the burdens of history to produce new works of art.
