Women Writing Resistance Av Jennifer Browdy

<b>Essays on Latinx and Caribbean identity and on globalization by renowned women writers, including Julia Alvarez, Edwidge Danticat, and Jamaica Kincaid</b><br><br><i>Women Writing Resistance: Essays on Latin America and the Caribbean</i> gathers the voices of sixteen acclaimed writer-activists for a one-of-a-kind collection. Through poetry and essays, writers from the Anglophone, Hispanic, and Francophone Caribbean, including Puertorriqueñas and Cubanas, grapple with their hybrid American political identities. <b>Gloria Anzaldúa</b>, the founder of Chicana queer theory; <b>Rigoberta Menchú</b>, the first Indigenous person to win a Nobel Peace Prize; and <b>Michelle Cliff</b>, a searing and poignant chronicler of colonialism and racism, among many others, highlight how women can collaborate across class, race, and nationality to lead a new wave of resistance against neoliberalism, patriarchy, state terrorism, and white supremacy.
