Summary
Compiles Mexican-American literature from both sides of the border, introducing stories, essays, poetry, and criticism by such writers as Alfonso Reyes, Rudolfo Anaya, Xavier Villaurutia, and Carlos Fuentes.
Amazon.com description: Product Description: As the descendants of Mexican immigrants have settled throughout the United States, a great literature has emerged, but its correspondances with the literature of Mexico have gone largely unobserved. In Bordering Fires, the first anthology to combine writing from both sides of the Mexican-U.S. border, Cristina Garcâa presents a richly diverse cross-cultural conversation. Beginning with Mexican masters such as Alfonso Reyes and Juan Rulfo, Garcâa highlights historic voices such as âthe godfather of Chicano literatureâ Rudolfo Anaya, and Gloria AnzaldÅa, who made a powerful case for language that reflects bicultural experience. From the fierce evocations of Chicano reality in Jimmy Santiago Bacaâs Poem IX to the breathtaking images of identity in Coral Brachoâs poem âFish of Fleeting Skin,â from the work of Carlos Fuentes to Sandra Cisneros, Ana Castillo to Octavio Paz, this landmark collection of fiction, essays, and poetry offers an exhilarating new vantage point on our continentâand on the best of contemporary literature.
