| Abstract | "Sandra Cisneros has been a prominent figure in Latinx/Chicanx literature and art and has written more than a dozen works including The House on Mango Street and Woman Hollering Creek and Other Stories, and is also the first Chicana to be published by a major press. Her personal collection has been a part of Texas State University's Wittliff Collections and she is the recipient of the National Medal of the Arts, a MacArthur "Genius" Award, and the PEN/Nabokov Award for International Literature. As influential as her work has been to many Latinx writers and artists, no one has done a full biography and analysis of her writing and artwork. Sonia Saldívar-Hull and Geneva M. Gano have gathered a list of new and established scholars who have extensively studied her archives to form an edited collection of fourteen essays that analyze recent research on her works that go beyond The House on Mango Street, which, of her books, has been the most heavily studied from elementary schools to college courses. Each chapter will look through the text of each of Cisneros's books and go through common themes that have been presented in her work such as friendship, harassment, and visual arts. The collection will end with a new interview with Cisneros and journalist Macarena Hernández"-- Provided by publisher. |
