Looking back across a career in which she has written novels  poems  and scholarly works about Sor Juana Ins de la Cruz  la Malinche  Coyolxauhqui  the murdered women of Jurez  the Salem witches  and Chicana lesbian feminists  Gaspar de Alba realized that what links these historically and socially diverse figures is that they all fall into the category of bad women  as defined by their place  culture  and time  and all have been punished as well as remembered for rebelling against the frames imposed on them by capitalist patriarchal discourses. In UnFraming the Bad Woman  Gaspar de Alba revisits and expands several of her published articles and presents three new essays to analyze how specific brown\/female bodies have been framed by racial  social  cultural  sexual  national\/regional  historical  and religious discourses of identityas well as how Chicanas can be liberated from these frames. Employing interdisciplinary methodologies of activist scholarship that draw from art  literature  history  politics  popular culture  and feminist theory  she shows how the bad women who interest her are transgressive bodies that refuse to cooperate with patriarchal dictates about what constitutes a good woman and that queer\/alter the male-centric and heteronormative history  politics  and consciousness of Chicano\/Mexicano culture. By unframing these bad women and rewriting their stories within a revolutionary frame  Gaspar de Alba offers her compaeras and fellow luchadoras empowering models of struggle  resistance  and rebirth.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44986120601653,"sku":"ByrdShop_0292758502","price":23.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780292758506.jpg?v=1770887894","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/unframing-the-bad-woman-sor-juana-malinche-coyolxauhqui-and-other-rebels-with-a-cause","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
