ON THEIR OWN PREMISES: SOUTHERN WOMEN WRITERS AND THE HOMEPLACE (GONZÁLEZ GROBA, CONSTANTE)

Centrado en las obras de Kate Chopin, Elizabeth Madox Roberts, Zora Neale Hurston, Lillian Smith, Eudora Welty, Alice Walker, Lee Smith, Jill McCorkle y Bobbie Ann Mason, este libro analiza el retrato ambivalente del espacio doméstico descrito por las escritoras sureñas. Las cuestiones más profundas de género, raza y clase en una sociedad tradicional como la del Sur americano se manifiestan precisamente en la esfera doméstica, donde el espacio es a menudo un medio crucial de dominación. Las escritoras sureñas contemporáneas con frecuencia han utilizado la transformación del hogar y sus significados como una nueva fuente para la ficción sureña. Han estado explorando formas nuevas y antiguas de imaginar lo que podría ser un hogar y su narrativa dice mucho de la manera en la que el trabajo, los lugares y la familia contribuyen a la creación de otro en el Sur contemporáneo.
