{"product_id":"open-your-eyes-and-soar-mary-berg-9781893996649","title":"Open Your Eyes and Soar: Cuban Women Writing Now","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe ten writers included here rose to prominence in the last decade of the twentieth century. Following the collapse of the Soviet Union, Cuba underwent a drastic economic contraction that brought about an explosion of feminine narrative writing, largely in a need to reinforce the self-esteem so essential in moments of crisis and uncertainty. For the first time in Cuban literature, women focused on topics long con-sidered taboo--sexuality, eroticism, domestic violence, drug addiction, pedophilia--to bring attention to the social and moral crisis brought about by the loss of Soviet support. Writers include Ana Lidia Vega Serova, Karla Suarez, Marilyn Bobes, Adelaida Fernandez de Juan, Nancy Alonso, Aida Bahr, Ena Lucia Portela, Mirta Yanez, Mylene Fernandez Pintado, and Sonia Bravo Utrera.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mary Berg\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1893996646\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781893996649\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e White Pine Press (NY)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/01\/2003\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 8.46h x 6.72w x 0.59d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eMulticultural Review\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/2004 pg. 71","brand":"Mary Berg","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48440095441151,"sku":"9781893996649","price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_53a3c8a9-81a6-4c03-87ab-7dc35cf69f68.jpg?v=1777180332","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/open-your-eyes-and-soar-mary-berg-9781893996649","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
