A Place in the Sun Women Writers in Twentieth-Century Cuba
- Binding: Paperback
- Publisher: Palgrave Macmillan
- Publish date: 04/01/1998
Description:
Women 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 Maria Loynaz and the poet Fina Garcia Marruz who developed their styles in the pre-Revolutionary period and black and mulatto poets such as Nancy Morejon, Georgina Herrera and Excilia Saldana 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. This is a major theoretical intervention into debates around representation.
