What is Goddess of the Americas =: La diosa de las Américas: writings on the Virgin of Guadalupe about?
Goddess of the Americas is a brilliant essay collection and an impassioned, unorthodox celebration of the Virgin of Guadalupe: mother goddess, patron saint of Mexico, protector of the downtrodden, who made her first appearance on American soil in 1531. Through a variety of forms -- original essays, historical writings, short fiction, drama, and poetry -- the illustrious contributors to this literary anthology examine the impact this potent deity, the Lady of Guadalupe, has had on the people and culture of Mexico, and her influence beyond that country, in Latin America, North America, and Europe.An unprecedented contribution to the literature of the Americas, Goddess of the Americas is an invigorating investigation, an idiosyncratic adoration, and a profound recognition of our need for the sacred, unwavering love of the mother goddess.Francisco Alarcon • Luis Alfaro • Gloria Anzaldua • Ronnie Burk • Rosario Castellanos • Ana Castillo • Denise Chavez • Sandra Cisneros • Felipe Ehrenberg • Clarissa Pinkola Estes • Rosario Ferre • Francisco Goldman • Guillermo Gomez-Pena • F.
