LA FIGURA DE ANA CASTILLO COMO REPRESENTANTE DE LA LITERATURA CHICANA FEMENINA

Abstract

Chicano writers have found their way into the literary canons of the United States. Among them, authors such as Gloria Anzaldúa, Sandra Cisneros or Ana Castillo, among many others, stand out, who witness in their works the struggle of thousands of Latinos against a hegemonic culture that belittles them and in which they manage to achieve success. And especially, Ana Castillo, who courageously defends the figure of the Chicano woman.Los escritores chicanos han logrado abrirse paso en los cánones literarios de los Estados Unidos.
