Significance of first collection ·
Borderlands/La Frontera
Blends personal and cultural history using narrative and poetry
Significance of second collection ·
Loving in the War Years
Blends genres, non-chronological sequence of events
Critic's perspective ·
Non-chronological writing sets women's autobiographies apart from men's
It's unclear if this critic thinks men's autobiographies never use non-chronological writing, but at the very least, it's not the traditional approach
Significance of third collection ·
Getting Home Alive
Combines mother's and daughter's perspectives
Author's perspective ·
These complex narrative styles convey complex identities
P4
Main point ·
These three collections by U.S. Latina authors use innovative methods to express complex, marginalized identities
