This book explores contemporary Latin American realities through madness narratives by prominent women authors, including Cristina Peri Rossi (Uruguay), Lya Luft (Brazil), Diamela Eltit (Chile), Cristina Rivera Garza (Mexico), Laura Restrepo (Colombia) and Irene Vilar (Puerto Rico). Close reading of these works reveals a pattern of literary techniques--a \"poetics of madness\"--employed by the writers to represent conditions that defy language, make sociopolitical crises tangible and register cultural perceptions of mental illness through literature.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Elvira S疣chez-Blake, Laura Kanost\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0786474858\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780786474851\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e McFarland \u0026amp; Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/14\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 188\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.80h x 5.90w x 0.60d","brand":"Elvira S疣chez-Blake","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44120194810111,"sku":"9780786474851","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c0be1850-0f70-4315-b01a-80a6c5b4b083.jpg?v=1687413034","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/latin-american-women-and-the-elvira-s-nchez-blake-9780786474851","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
