This book offers an introduction to the works of eleven Latvian women writers. For years, Baltic literary critics in the West have tried to assert that there is only one Latvian, Lithuanian, or Estonian literature; that the emigrÈ and the native branches are one. In Nostalgia and Beyond, the author fuses writers from both sides of the Atlantic to form a unified whole--the authors are women, they are Latvian, they write. Not only does the book provide an expert analysis of each writer's unique contribution, it also places each one into a contemporary context of cultural issues revolving around questions of history, nationalism, feminism, and literary theory. This makes the book germane to readers curious about the Baltic area, the Soviet and post-Soviet experience, and memory, nostalgia, exile, and resistance from a post-colonial perspective.

The author's personal and professional experience guided the methodology chosen. Latvian literature curricula documents were examined and Education Ministry representatives, literary experts, literature teachers, pre-service literature teachers and students were surveyed or interviewed in order to investigate how the formal school system informs young women in a newly independent and democratic Latvia about gender through the reading material studied in literature classes. Two research sites and one hundred and ninety-seven diverse voices connected to the teaching and learning of Latvian literature provide the data base. Character education, national identity, a canonical tradition and literary iconography converge to frame the inquiry. Knitting and the folk mitten were chosen as the organizing metaphor for both the process and the product of the study. As the voices of educators and learners are knit together, a gallery of literary characters within a canonical tradition emerges that reflects and informs, engages and perpetuates notions of the "feminine". A traditional folkloric propensity towards duality underlies the definition and classification of gender stereotypes and delineated gender roles. It is these notions which appear to provide comfort in a rapidly shifting social, political and economic context, at the same time constricting and confining the developing self-identities of both young men and women in Latvia today."You women from the West are too masculine." This criticism, aimed at a team of female Canadian educators working alongside their Latvian counterparts in Latvia, confounded the author, a wife and mother, born and raised in Canada but fluent in Latvian and familiar with her Latvian cultural heritage. It became obvious that it was not language that set her apart from her Latvian colleagues, but the rigid delineations drawn between the concepts of "feminine" and "feminist", the former saluted, the latter derided. What was it that socially defined a female as being "feminine enough" in Latvia, a question that seemed irrelevant within the North American gender discourse? This clash of perceptions regarding gender identity fueled an inquiry into the role of education and teaching in gender socialization practices in post-Soviet Latvia.

Feminism has dramatically influenced the way literary texts are read, taught and evaluated. Feminist literary theory has deliberately transgressed traditional boundaries between literature, philosophy and the social sciences in order to understand how gender has been constructed and represented through language. This lively and thought-provoking Companion presents a range of approaches to the field. Some of the essays demonstrate feminist critical principles at work in analysing texts, while others take a step back to trace the development of a particular feminist literary method. The essays draw on a range of primary material from the medieval period to postmodernism and from several countries, disciplines and genres. Each essay suggests further reading to explore this field further. This is the most accessible guide available both for students of literature new to this developing field, and for students of gender studies and readers interested in the interactions of feminism, literary criticism and literature.

How do women artists in Russia, Estonia and Latvia view themselves in the post-Soviet era? What is their relationship to feminism and how has that relationship changed following the fall of the Soviet regime? Having conducted over 60 interviews between 1995 and 1998, Renee and Matthew Baigell explore in this volume these women's difficulties of pursuing an art career in a male-dominated society, and the attitudes of their male counterparts toward feminist concerns.

F LETTER assembles the feminist poets who have palpably changed the Russian language over the last decade. Against the backdrop of state violence and oppression, this is electric dissent in pursuit of a democratic, egalitarian future. A lexicon for revolution worldwide. But this anthology's brilliance lies in its rhythm, energy, and depth of emotion--in its universal relevance rather than applied politics. As Eileen Myles writes of its verse in a foreword to the work, "there are lines like a curse that yodel radiantly out of the toothy mouth of the curser...lines that are just so fucking metonymic in their grace...I've been invited to witness. To smell the crowd and be charged by history."
