They also have critiqued these characters using traditional gender binary concepts or have viewed their access to power as evil or abnormal. \u003ci\u003eWarrior Women and Trans Warriors: Performing Masculinities in Twentieth-Century Latin American Literature\u003c\/i\u003e introduces a new perspective by analyzing how one trans warrior and two warrior women from three canonical novels contest traditional codes of behavior and appearance. It examines Pintada in the Mexican novel \u003ci\u003eLos de abajo\u003c\/i\u003e (1915); do?a B?rbara in the Venezuelan novel \u003ci\u003eDo?a B?rbara\u003c\/i\u003e (1929); and Diadorim in the Brazilian novel \u003ci\u003eGrande sert?o: veredas\u003c\/i\u003e (1956). \u003ci\u003eWarrior Women and Trans Warriors\u003c\/i\u003e focuses on how these three characters challenge conventional norms and empower themselves by giving orders, using weapons, fighting, competing with other characters, exposing traditional gender ideologies, and transgressing sartorial gender rules. Drawing on trans theory, intersectionality, gender performance theory, and masculinities studies, this book argues that performing masculinities allow these characters to occupy the place of the most-desired position of their contexts.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Carolina Castellanos Gonella\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Purdue University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/15\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSeries:\u003c\/b\u003e Purdue Studies in Romance Literatures\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.3lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.75d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781612499802","brand":"Purdue University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43311330197641,"sku":"9781612499802","price":99.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_fadc1944-44ad-4e74-9d1a-6a194a9e9bc0.jpg?v=1738052753","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/warrior-women-and-trans-warriors-performing-masculinities-in-twentieth-century-latin-american-literature-9781612499802","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
