Description
Book Synopsis
A medida que los descendientes de inmigrantes mexicanos se han ido estableciendo por todo Estados Unidos, ha surgido una gran literatura, pero sus similaridades con la literatura de México han pasado inadvertidas. En Voces sin fronteras, la primera antología que combina la literatura de ambos lados de la frontera méxico-americana, Cristina García nos presenta un diálogo intercultural de una rica diversidad. Voces históricas de maestros mexicanos como Carlos Fuentes, Elena Poniatowska y Juan Rulfo se entrelazan contínuamente con voces magistrales de chicanos como Sandra Cisneros, Rudolfo Anaya y Gloria Anzaldoea para formar una vibrante tela bilingüe y bicultural. El resultado es esta memorable colección de obras de ficción, ensayos y poesía que brinda una perspectiva emocionantemente nueva de nuestro continente --y de la mejor literatura contemporánea.Review Quotes
"Esta maravillosa introducción a algunas de las voces más luminosas y esclarecedoras de las tradiciones chicana y mexicana nos ofrece un fascinante y resonante diálogo entre ambas".
--Rafael Pérez-Torres, profesor de Literatura Americana y Estudios Chicanos, UCLA "En una época que reduce 'lo mexicano' a un degradante estereotipo, esta colección de encantos literarios permitirá que los lectores aprecien la riqueza de una civilización milenaria".
-Ilan Stavans, autor de Spanglish: The Making of a New American Language
