About This Book

Este libro contribuye al análisis de la producción cultural de dos autoras minoritarias chicanas de finales del siglo diecinueve y principios del veinte: María Amparo Ruíz de Burton y Jovita González. Tras una aproximación hermenéutica a los textos de estas primeras escritoras ( Who Would Have Thought It?, The Squatter and the Don y Dew on the Thorn ), el libro sugiere la existencia de una indudable y embrionaria conciencia chicana, que se puede apreciar en la (re)presentación de mujeres en un proceso de autodefinición y de búsqueda de una identidad de frontera, y propone que ya desde finales del siglo diecinueve empieza a surgir una conciencia política generada a través de un incipiente discurso feminista y anti-colonial. El carácter de frontera, en términos lotmanianos de estas narraciones explica el inicio de una fuerte crítica o temprana resistencia cultural que hoy día podría llamarse chicana y que plantea una negociación con la cultura anglosajona. Estas dos escritoras resultan ser mediadoras entre ambas culturas, Malinches de finales del diecinueve y principios del siglo veinte. La metodología empleada engloba una perspectiva de crítica feminista, postcolonial y de la semiótica cultural de Yuri Lotman.
