Description
Post-Borderlandia: A Critical Exploration of Chicana/o Literature and Gender Variant Critique This book brings together two influential fields of study - Chicana/o studies and queer theory - to examine the significance of gender variance in contemporary Chicana and Chicanx narratives. T. Jackqueline Cuevas explores how a new generation of Chicanx writers, performers, and filmmakers are reimagining identity and challenging traditional notions of queerness. By analyzing the Chicana feminist canon through a fresh archival lens, Cuevas reveals the crucial role that queer gender variance has played in shaping this literary tradition. This study offers a nuanced understanding of how shifting national, racial, class, sexual, and gender identifications produce complex power dynamics, particularly for Chicana butch lesbians and Chicanx trans individuals. Through its interdisciplinary approach, Post-Borderlandia sheds new light on the intersections of identity, culture, and literature in the context of Chicana/o studies.
