Summary: "Rosaura Sánchez and Beatrice Pita examine the spatial and discursive violence in the Southwest as enacted during the Spanish, Mexican and US colonial periods. The volume begins by examining the establishment of enclosures or acts of land dispossession in the Southwest and foregrounds important historical, generational, ideological and textual differences and linkages while addressing multiple domains, regions and authors. Spatial and Discursive Violence in the US Southwest provides a new perspective on colonialist debates within Chicano/a Movements and underscores the varying responses of the disenfranchised to dispossession, conquest and colonization across time, stressing what has been omitted, forgotten, or erased in literature and history"--Provided by publisher

内容説明・目次

内容説明

In Spatial and Discursive Violence in the US Southwest Rosaura Sanchez and Beatrice Pita examine literary representations of settler colonial land enclosure and dispossession in the history of New Mexico, Texas, and Oklahoma. Sanchez and Pita analyze a range of Chicano/a and Native American novels, films, short stories, and other cultural artifacts from the eighteenth century to the present, showing how Chicano/a works often celebrate an idealized colonial Spanish past as a way to counter stereotypes of Mexican and Indigenous racial and ethnic inferiority. As they demonstrate, these texts often erase the participation of Spanish and Mexican settlers in the dispossession of Indigenous lands. Foregrounding the relationship between literature and settler colonialism, they consider how literary representations of land are manipulated and redefined in ways that point to the changing practices of dispossession. In so doing, Sanchez and Pita prompt critics to reconsider the role of settler colonialism in the deep history of the United States and how spatial and discursive violence are always correlated.
