Beskrivning

This book argues for the necessary and further examination of the sacred as it is ritualized within Chicana fiction. Beginning with the implications of Gloria Anzaldúa’s spiritual vision of Chicana identity alongside structural principles of ritual criticism, this study extends the discourse about the impact of the sacred in Chicana fiction.
