It argues that parental identities exist on a spectrum, enabling many parental figures to disregard heteronormative standards imposed upon the role and allowing them to experience parenthood in meaningful ways. Bringing visibility to literary and cinematic examples of alternative Spanish families, \u003cem\u003e Performing Parenthood\u003c\/em\u003e provides a glimpse into an evolving society influenced by national and global changes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Heather Jer?nimo\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1487554214\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781487554217\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Toronto Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/12\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 258\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 1.00d","brand":"Heather Jer?nimo","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46173103456511,"sku":"9781487554217","price":80.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_21ce1aa7-9c8f-4401-b4dd-649d36a45372.jpg?v=1727179999","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/performing-parenthood-heather-jernimo-9781487554217","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
