Reconstructing Childhood

Strategies of Reading for Culture and Gender in the Spanish American Bildungsroman (The Bucknell Studies in Latin American Literature and Theory)

by Julia A. Kushigian

Not yet rated

"Reconstructing Childhood challenges the notion of a unilateral analysis of the Bildungsroman from a paradigm that engages four strategies of reading. This interdisciplinary multicultural revision of the Bildungsroman frees it from the constraints of the European, white, middle-class, patriarchal tradition, taking into account significant cultural, gender, socioeconomic, ethnic, racial, and generational aspects that the traditional model excludes.

As such, it is a critique of the grand narrative of coming of age."--BOOK JACKET.
