Extinct Lands, Temporal Geographies: Chicana Literature and the Urgency of Space

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

"Nowhere does the critical spatial imagination flourish more creatively than in Chicana literature. And nowhere is it more effectively expressed than in" Extinct Lands, Temporal Geographies. "With her own sense of political and cultural urgency, Mary Pat Brady explores the multiple spatial and sexual borderlands of Chicana life, opening up a passionate and transgressive geography that sizzles with insight."--Edward W. Soja, author of "Postmetropolis: Critical Studies of Cities and Regions"
