Gender in Hispanic Literature and Visual Arts provides an interdisciplinary and multicultural perspective on gender within Hispanic film and literature. The contributors analyze the relationship between the historical and social contexts of various Hispanic countries—including Argentina, Colombia, Chile, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Mexico, Peru, Puerto Rico, Spain, and Uruguay—and the effects of their contexts on their representations of gender. This book examines gender-based violence, transvestism, lesbianism, (mis)representation, indigenism, dissent, identity, and voice as a means of better understanding the meaning and implications of gender within the diversity of people and cultures that comprise the Hispanic world.

Gender in Hispanic Literature and Visual Arts is up-to-date and highly informative. The contributors in this collection analyze how the issue of gender is articulated in a number of genres including autobiography, fiction, documentary, feature films, and the visual arts. Their insightful chapters intersect in unexpected ways and show how some female artists have achieved self-empowerment by using techniques of their craft to break the mold. But, just as importantly, this book shows how women explore art as a thought experiment in order to demonstrate how other ways of being perform, and in this way, breathe the future into the present.
