Identity in Latin American and Latina Literature

This study examines works that address the spatial location of Latinidades, especially Latina, identity by subverting literary history and literary theory through testimonio, hybrid genres, social activism, metafiction and solidarity. By blurring these concepts the authors take representation of their own hybrid selves into their work, making their writings subversive, political acts where their Latina feminist identities are negotiated in space- textual, representational, and everyday life.
