Full Description
This is the first book to include women authors from Hispanic regions never before brought together to examine how women's bodies reveal complex exchanges between political representations, self-definitions and gender designations. Although past scholars have considered discourses on women's bodies in relation to food and cooking, power relations, and gender negotiations, few have explored how Hispanic women represent it.
