The book begins its explorations of the âpassage of crisisâ with Maria Amparo Ruiz de Burton's The Squatter and the Don, continues with Americo Paredes' George Washington Gà³mez, Tomà¡s Rivera's â¦And the Earth Did Not Devour Him, Richard Rodriguez's Hunger of Memory, and ends with Helena Maràa Viramontes' Under the Feet of Jesus and Benjamin Alire Sà¡enz' Carry Me Like Water. In order to do justice to the idiosyncrasies of the individual texts and the complexities they embrace, the analyses refer to a number of other texts belonging to the tradition, and draw on a wide range of theoretical approaches. The final chapter of Threshold Time brings the various readings together in a discussion circumscribed by the negotiations of a temporality that is strongly aligned with a sense of memory peculiar to the history of the Chicano presence in the United States of America. |  Aggiungi al Carrello |
