The Fiction of Solidarity: Transfronterista Feminisms and Anti-Imperialist Struggles in Central American Transnational Narratives.
- Authors
Rodríguez, Ana Patricia
- Abstract
This article presents information on the production of Chicana/Latina feminist narratives identified with anti-imperialist struggles and hemispheric solidarity movements in Central America in the 1980s and 1990s. Through the texts of several transfronterista feminist cultural activists not only challenged U.S. hegemony in the Western hemisphere, but also resisted the enforcement of multiple borders across the Americas. It explores the Chicana solidarity with Central America. It also offers information on U.S. Chicana/Latina transnational narrative interventions. It notes that Chicana writers and subjects are the true protagonists, for it is they who expose and seek resolution to the plight of Central Americans through discursive acts of solidarity.
