商品簡介
Forced by Circumstance gathers in one volume landmark essays by one of the most admired and revered intellectuals in Chicana/o, Latina/o, and Feminist Studies. Published between 1981 and 2019, the essays range in content from straightforward literary criticism to cultural studies and beyond to two "pl嫢icas" chats with other scholars on a range of topics. Reading the various essays--from the early work on Mexican feminist writer Rosario Castellanos to the recent reflections on the carceral state and the political debacle that our contemporary situation presents--will offer readers not only a sense of the intellectual trajectory of one of our most important Chicana feminist thinkers but will also bring to a new generation of scholars and readers classic essays published in books and journals in the fields of Chicana/o Studies, Cultural Studies, Feminist Studies, and Literary Studies.
