{"product_id":"threshold-time-9789042023321","title":"Threshold Time","description":"\u003ci\u003eThreshold Time\u003c\/i\u003e provides an introductory survey of the cultural, social and political history of Mexican American and Chicano literature, as well as new in-depth analyses of a selection of works that between them span a hundred years of this particular branch of American literature. The book begins its explorations of the “passage of crisis” with Maria Amparo Ruiz de Burton’s \u003ci\u003eThe Squatter and the Don\u003c\/i\u003e, continues with Americo Paredes’ \u003ci\u003eGeorge Washington Gómez\u003c\/i\u003e, Tomás Rivera’s …\u003ci\u003eAnd the Earth Did Not Devour Him\u003c\/i\u003e, Richard Rodriguez’s \u003ci\u003eHunger of Memory\u003c\/i\u003e, and ends with Helena María Viramontes’ \u003ci\u003eUnder the Feet of Jesus\u003c\/i\u003e and Benjamin Alire Sáenz’ \u003ci\u003eCarry Me Like Water\u003c\/i\u003e. In order to do justice to the idiosyncrasies of the individual texts and the complexities they embrace, the analyses refer to a number of other texts belonging to the tradition, and draw on a wide range of theoretical approaches. The final chapter of \u003ci\u003eThreshold Time\u003c\/i\u003e brings the various readings together in a discussion circumscribed by the negotiations of a temporality that is strongly aligned with a sense of memory peculiar to the history of the Chicano presence in the United States of America.","brand":"Lene M.
