House/Garden/Nation - Space, Gender, and Ethnicity in Post-Colonial Latin American Literatures by Women

"This is a superb book. One of the foremost Latin American literary critics writing today, Rodriguez offers in this study an important new perspective on the 'foundational' novels of early Latin-American nation-building and their relation to the modern and contemporary narratives of social transition in Central America and the Caribbean."--Ellen McCracken, University of California, Santa Barbara
