Referenced in \u003ci\u003eranchera\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003etejana\u003c\/i\u003e, and hip-hop lyrics, and celebrated in popular art as a \u003ci\u003eguerrillera \u003c\/i\u003ewith rifle and bullet belts, Sor Juana has become ubiquitous. The conduits keep multiplying: statues, \u003ci\u003eloter a \u003c\/i\u003ecards, key chains, recipe books, coffee mugs, D a de los Muertos costumes. Ironically, Juana In s de Asbaje--alias Sor Juana In s de la Cruz--died in anonymity. Her grave was unmarked until the 1970s. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eSor Juana: Or, the Persistence of Pop\u003c\/i\u003e encapsulates the life, times, and legacy of Sor Juana. In this immersive work, essayist Ilan Stavans provides a biographical and meditative picture of the ways in which popular perceptions of her life and body of work both shape and reflect modern Latinx culture.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ilan Stavans\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0816536074\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780816536078\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Arizona Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/18\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 80\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.30h x 5.40w x 0.20d","brand":"Ilan Stavans","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43926480912639,"sku":"9780816536078","price":15.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_2b558aa6-896a-4d7f-8508-6fc2beba0f55.jpg?v=1681083307","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/sor-juana-ilan-stavans-9780816536078","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
