Las Mujeres

Ana Castillo (Chicago, 1953) es la autora de la colección de relatos Loverboys (1996). Estos relatos abordan la realidad de las mujeres chicanas y latinas en los EE. UU. a partir de una pluralidad de contextos sociales. El propósito de este artículo es analizar los relatos de Loverboys, desde la perspectiva de los roles de género y el concepto de identidad, así como presentar una breve observación inicial sobre cómo las voces femeninas han sido silenciadas a lo largo de la historia. La hipótesis que se desea demostrar es que Castillo defiende, conserva y pretende restaurar en estos relatos los valores de las mujeres chicanas y latinas, repetidamente denostados por el machismo de la sociedad patriarcal, a través de los personajes femeninos de los relatos recogidos en Loverboys.

Abstract The purpose of this article is to analyze the hybrid language used in the U.S. by a generation who think brown and write brown. I am referring to the so-called one-and-a-halfers, a generation that includes writers such as Gloria Anzaldúa, Cherríe Moraga, Sandra Cisneros, Pat Mora, Ilan Stavans, Ana Lydia Vega, Ana Castillo, Helena Viramontes, Esmeralda Santiago, or Tato Laviera, to name but a few. I aim to analyze how many migrants and refugees use language in a way that destroys consensus. It is in these spaces where the migration movements of the multiple souths talk back in a weird language which the Establishment fears. In these circumstances, translation becomes a tool to raise questions that disturb the universal promises of monolingualism.

This chapter evaluates the proliferation of Chicana literature following El Movimiento. This frames the discussion of the narrative of reclamation in the Chicana novel So Far from God (1993) by Ana Castillo as well as in the Dominican American novel Soledad (2001) by Angie Cruz. Both of these novels portray characters finding out whether ritual is effective in reclaiming their identity. By paying special attention to the novels' constructions of femininity, depictions of the abuse of the female body, and reconfigurations of communal and domestic spaces from patriarchal to matriarchal, the chapter delineates the convergences of a text set in the rural Southwest, So Far from God, with a text set in urban Northeast, Soledad.
