Produktform: Buch / Einband - fest (Hardcover)

In Karla P. Zepeda studies the experience of exile and its effects on identity in three autobiographies: by Constancia de la Mora, by María Teresa León, and by Federica Montseny.

Through their works, these women negotiate their identity in relation to the lost homeland and the new locale. examines the diverse character of diaspora, the social transactions deployed in a variety of circumstances, and the self-negotiations elicited in social interactions. Identity proves to be an intentional re-creation of self, enacted in particular circumstances, and negotiated as a response to social conditions.weiterlesen
