{"product_id":"landsmoder-elena-salamanca-9781945649912","title":"Landsmoder","description":"\u003ci\u003eLandsmoder\u003c\/i\u003e, by the Salvadoran poet, historian, and performance artist Elena Salamanca, is a searing, and sometimes grotesque, exploration of the intersections between nationalism, dogma, patriarchy, and violence. Originally read aloud from the oldest standing monument in San Salvador's centro histico, the performance poems in \u003ci\u003eLandsmoder\u003c\/i\u003e retool the laudatory pomp of patriotic ceremony to protest the weaponization of national myth as a mask for erasure, cruelty, and neglect at the hands of the state. This unflinching collection, whose title comes from a Norwegian word that Salamanca translates as \"madre de la patria\" -- or \"mother of the nation\/homeland\/fatherland\"-- is a work of feminist grief, rage, and irony populated with churning wombs, bloodied flags, and ratteboned she-wolves. Appearing now in a bilingual edition nearly a decade after it was first performed, \u003ci\u003eLandsmoder \u003c\/i\u003eremains an urgent subversion, loud as ever, both on and off the page. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Elena Salamanca\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1945649917\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781945649912\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Not a Cult\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/05\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 85\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.90h x 4.80w x 0.40d","brand":"Elena Salamanca","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44076827967743,"sku":"9781945649912","price":18.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6240cc9f-2c00-4943-957d-a1e7a180f216.jpg?v=1685467014","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/landsmoder-elena-salamanca-9781945649912","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
