Produktbeschreibungen
From Library Journal
Latin American women's fiction has received a great deal more recognition in the nine years since the first edition of this anthology. The new edition offers qualitative yardsticks as well, revealing that these writers are moving toward experimental literature and away from traditional, stereotypical concerns with domestic life, marriage, education, and other issues. There are even some militant feminist stories. Each story is followed by a bibliography, and the work concludes with a general bibliography and a second list of women writers not collected here. Strong stories come from well-known writers like Isabel Allende, Elena Poniatowska, and Luisa Valenzuela, and this volume also breaks a barrier by including stories from Brazilians Lygia Fagundes Telles and N lida Pi$on. It is hoped that nations other than Argentina, Chile, Mexico, and Cuba will be better represented in future editions, as the canon becomes more accepting of Latin American literature, whether male or female. For all academic and public libraries.DRene Perez-Lopez, Norfolk P.L., VA

BEYOND
2. Mai 2001
Format:Taschenbuch
This book has incredible stories that have hidden meaning in them. The stories are fun to read and very engaging. The stories are humorous if read just for leisure.On the other hand, for a serious literature student or person, the stories have a lot to offer when critically analysed. They talk about women and how they fit in the society. Overall, I think Beyond the Border is a great book and people should definately ready it.
Beyond the Border
1. Mai 2001
Format:Taschenbuch
Beyond the Border, a collection of short stories by number of Latin American women authors, is an excellent source of hints to the culture of Latin America. I was very fortunate to read a number of short stories from this book for my Women's Culture from Latin America class at ISU in Normal, IL. After some time of study of Latin America's culture, I was able to get more meaning out of what I read. For example, the short story Mercedes-Benz 220SL, by Rosario Ferre, tells the story that teaches us about the impact of patriarchy and materialism on the family. Ferre uses punctuation, narriation, reoccurring themes, and imagery to paint a picture of the role of men and women in Latin America. Another short story, The Wedding, by Lucia Fox, takes the reader through the thoughts of a friend of the bride, who doesn't seem to be a clueless as everyone else. She points out how her friends fall blindly into typical female roles found in Latin American culture. In this story, Fox uses flashbacks and imagery to leave a lot of room for interpretation. The reader is forced to use their creativity to create their own interpretation. These two stories are just examples of the powerful stories found in the book. I highly recomend Beyond the Border to those both fammiliar and umfammiliar with Latin American culture.
Latin American Women

Format:Taschenbuch
In a class I am now taking we read Beyond the Border, edited by Erro-Peralta and Caridad Silva. Throughout this class we have been studying Latin American culture and issues dealing with women. I am not the type of person who likes to sit down and read a whole book, which is why this book was great for me. Beyond the Border is a collection of short stories written by a variety of women writers from Latin America. Throughout these stories there are reoccurring themes of patriarcy, motherhood, and gender roles. In each of these short stories all of these themes can be seen. These stories allow you to dig deep into the text and see the lives of Latin American women through their eyes. This book does a great job of depicting the lives of Latin American women, and I would recommend this book to anyone who would like to learn more about this topic.
