Communal Feminisms Chicanas, Chilenas, and Cultural Exile

Communal Feminisms explores identity and exile from three different perspectives theory, interviews, and imaginative literature. The first part of this book describes and defines exile within identity, the second part delivers ten interviews and examines the socio-historical construction of exile through feminine Chicano literature and Chilean literature created and circulated during the Pinochet regime, and the third part contains a collection of unpublished, original works from each author interviewed.
