{"product_id":"gender-and-the-self-in-emma-staniland-9781138547674","title":"Gender and the Self in Latin American Literature","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book explores six texts from across Spanish America in which the coming-of-age story ('Bildungsroman') offers a critique of gendered selfhood as experienced in the region's socio-cultural contexts. Looking at a range of novels from the late twentieth century, Staniland explores thematic concerns in terms of their role in elucidating a literary journey towards agency: that is, towards the articulation of a socially and personally viable female gendered identity. Myth, exile and the female body are the central themes for understanding the personal, social and political aims of the women writers analysed in this volume: Isabel Allende, Laura Esquivel, Ángeles Mastretta, Sylvia Molloy, Cristina Peri Rossi and Zoé Valdés.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Emma Staniland\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1138547670\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781138547674\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/06\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 252\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.53d","brand":"Emma Staniland","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48850314232063,"sku":"9781138547674","price":70.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/gender-and-the-self-in-emma-staniland-9781138547674","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
