Desde una perspectiva en la que confluyen literatura, género y medioambiente, se efectúa un recorrido por la literatura ecofeminista chicana a través de las obras que renombradas autoras de esta ascendencia –Ana Castillo, Lucha Corpi, Helena María Viramontes y Cherríe Moraga– publicaron a lo largo de la última década del siglo XX. Desde un análisis que tiene en cuenta categorías de desigualdad como el género, la clase o la raza, se lleva a cabo un enfoque interseccional que denuncia las múltiples formas de discriminación de las que son víctimas sus protagonistas. Asimismo, la relectura de estas obras desde un prisma ecofeminista permite descubrir cómo estas autoras chicanas de los noventa, además de continuar con la tradición identitaria de sus predecesoras de los setenta y ochenta, incluyen esta perspectiva en sus textos. Todas ellas comparten el interés por la tradición y el folklore mexicanos y precolombinos, así como la crítica al catolicismo, al sistema capitalista y a la desigualdad de género, características que reflejan, en última instancia, su lucha en pro de la justicia social y medioambiental.

This volume brings forward a descriptive approach to the translation and reception of African American women’s literature in Spain. Drawing from a multidisciplinary theoretical and methodological framework, it traces the translation history of literature produced by African American women, seeking to uncover changing strategies in translation policies as well as shifts in interests in the target context, and it examines the topicality of this cohort of authors as frames of reference for Spanish critics and reviewers. Likewise, the reception of the source literature in the Spanish context is described by reconstructing the values that underlie judgements in different reception sources. Finally, this book addresses the specific problem of the translation of Black English into Spanish. More precisely, it pays attention to the ideological and the ethical implications of translation choices and the effect of the latter on the reception of literary texts.

Benjamin Drew’s "North-Side View of Slavery: The Refugee, or the Narratives of Fugitive Slaves in Canada" (1856) is a collection of his interviews with former slaves living in Canada who had escaped from the United States, and an invaluable example of the transnational abolitionist movement’s political agenda. These edited oral accounts show how these runaways turned into African Canadians and reconfigured new meanings of Blackness in Canada, set out the foundations of a Black Canadian sense of attachment, and eventually helped to reshape North America by contributing to the birth of the Canadian nation-state.

The texts included in this anthology illustrate the wide range of possibilities that abolitionist writings offered to American children during the first half of the nineteenth century. Composing their works under the wings of the antislavery movement, authors responded to the unequal and controversial development of abolitionist politics during the decades that led up to the outbreak of the Civil War. These writers struggled to teach children “to feel right,” and attempted to instruct them to actively respond to the injustice of the slavery system as rendered visible by a harrowing visual archive of suffering bodies compiled by both English and American antislavery promoters. Reading was equated with knowledge and knowledge was equated with moral responsibility, and therefore reading about “the abominations of slavery” became an act of emotional personal transformation. Children were thus turned into powerful agents of political change and potential activists to spread the abolitionist message. Invited to comply with a higher law that entailed the breaking of their nation’s edicts, they were morally rewarded by the Christian God and approvingly applauded by their elders for their violation of these same American regulations. These texts enclosed immeasurable value for young nineteenth-century Americans to fulfill a more democratic and egalitarian role in their future. Undoubtedly, abolitionist writings for children took away American children’s innocence and transformed them into juvenile abolitionists and empowered compassionate citizens.

Quaker characters have peopled many an American literary work—most notably, "Uncle Tom’s Cabin"—as Quakerism has been historically associated with progressive attitudes and the advancement of social justice. With the rise in recent years of the Christian romance market, dominated by American Evangelical companies, there has been a renewed interest in fictional Quakers. In the historical Quaker romances analyzed in this book, Quaker heroines often devote time to spiritual considerations, advocate the sanctity of marriage and promote traditional family values. However, their concern with social justice also leads them to engage in subversive behavior and to question the status quo, as illustrated by heroines who are active on the Underground Railroad or are seen organizing the Seneca Falls convention. Though relatively liberal in terms of gender, Quaker romances are considerably less progressive when it comes to race relations. Thus, they reflect America’s conflicted relationship with its history of race and gender abuse, and the country’s tendency to both resist and advocate social change. Ultimately, Quaker romances reinforce the myth of America as a White and Christian nation, here embodied by the Quaker heroine, the all-powerful savior who rescues Native Americans, African Americans and Jews while conquering the hero’s heart.

This first critical biography of radio broadcaster, stage director, and auteur filmmaker Michael Cacoyannis examines his prolific body of work within the socio-political context of his times. Best known as a bold modernist for triple-Oscar-winner ‘Zorba the Greek’, Michael likewise was hailed as an astute classicist for his inventive interpretations of Euripides. Working across several continents and languages, he forwarded feminist, humanist, and pacifist agendas, as he further innovated crafty LGBT narratives of unprecedented artistry and complexity. Despite intense persecution during the Cold War red scare and lavender scare, his casts and crews of frugal cosmopolitans critiqued racism, militarism, sexism, homophobia, and transphobia. Avoiding censorship, job loss, and jail, Michael thereby laid foundations for the 1990s new queer cinema and set the stage for empowering dramas of socio-economic justice in the third millennium. Over his long life and productive career, Michael exposed and espoused the vital truths up his sleeve.

Andrea Burgos y Miguel Martínez abordan en este libro la ardua tarea de documentar “el ocaso de ‘koinonia’” en la literatura norteamericana. La metamorfosis de la novela utópica en ficción distópica forma parte de la historia natural de un género literario que hoy prefiere relatar las variedades inacabables de futuros de pesadilla que la búsqueda de la justicia y el mejor gobierno propios del utopismo clásico. Esta monografía constituye la primera presentación sistemática de la distopía en la literatura de los Estados Unidos, desde sus orígenes hasta la actualidad. Partiendo de un intento definitorio, se aborda la producción de autores estadounidenses cronológicamente, desde sus orígenes en el siglo XIX hasta nuestros días, en permanente diálogo con su contexto histórico y analizando el grado de acierto de sus profecías. Se profundiza también aquí en las formas que adopta la distopía en su relación con algunos de los temas que vertebran la cultura contemporánea: la otredad, el feminismo, la ecología y la literatura juvenil, responsable principal de la popularidad actual de este género literario.

Edgar Allan Poe se encuentra sin duda entre los autores más leídos y traducidos de la historia de la literatura. Por ello, los estudios que componen este volumen contextualizan su obra dentro del marco del sistema literario hispanohablante y también de la literatura universal. En ellos confluyen, en una secuencia coherente, aproximaciones a los cuentos “La máscara de la muerte roja”, “El pozo y el péndulo” y “El tonel de amontillado”, en las cuales se plantea el análisis literario y temático de los textos y un estudio detallado del léxico textual y de los elementos estilísticos y gramaticales. Es en los entresijos de la lectura atenta de estos textos donde se revela su interpretación particular desde conceptos genéricos como el gótico, lo fantástico, lo grotesco/arabesco y el terror.

La crisis cultural y mediática, la radicalización de la cultura de la distracción, la ingeniería psicológica y electoral de las elecciones, el dogma de los mercados o la sacralización medieval de aquellas corporaciones que han secuestrado las democracias y que han convertido sus procesos electorales en rituales vacíos son algunos de los temas que aborda esta selección de ensayos y reflexiones de Jorge Majfud sobre las vicisitudes de la civilización noroccidental. Se trata, en realidad, del deterioro de la legitimidad y la confianza ideológica que sufren las democracias liberales, tanto por sus promesas de libertad y prosperidad como por su práctica autoritaria en nombre de la democracia. Siguiendo la expresión creada por el politólogo estadounidense Graham T. Allison en 2015, nos encontraríamos ante un terremoto geopolítico producido por la trampa de Tucídides, es decir, ante el riesgo de guerra que genera el miedo de Estados Unidos a perder su hegemonía.
