{"product_id":"9781856495424","title":"A Place in the Sun?: Women Writers in 20th Century Cuba","description":"\u003cbr\u003eWomen have published a rich and varied selection of work in Cuba throughout the twentieth century. Their writings give us a crucial insight into the recent history of that country. In this book, Catherine Davies develops a sophisticated and theoretically informed feminist reading of works by authors such as Dulce María Loynaz and the poet Fina García Marruz who developed their styles in the pre-revolutionary period and black and mulatto poets such as Nancy Morejón, Georgina Herrera and Excilia Saldaña from the post-1959 socialist era. The author reads these key texts in ways that show how women’s writing can open up areas that resist alignment into the ‘grand narratives’ - of liberalism, Marxism - that have usually dominated interpretations of Cuban culture. A major theoretical intervention into debates around representation, the book will be necessary reading for students and academics in post-colonial theory and women’s studies, as well as in Spanish, Latin-American and comparative literature.","brand":"Zed Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47058310922480,"sku":"9781856495424","price":44.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781856495424_p0.jpg?v=1763598676","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781856495424","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
