Omschrijving
This critical anthology of writings by Carlos Monsivais represents a foundational set of texts by an exceptional Mexican cultural critic. Fatefully, Faithfully Feminist situates the urgencies of social movements as they developed in real time.
The essays collected in [MisÓgino feminista] are . . . stunning for their style and expression, from a thinker who delves deep into the reality of Mexican society, particularly women's condition, through heartfelt feminist beliefs."——Magdalena Galindo, Debate Feminista
"What I like most about this book is its unflagging appeal to intelligence from which it sustains its arguments that, coming from his pen, sounded unquestionable. Feminism, for MonsivÁis, wasn't just a political position. It was undeniable: a question of reason."— —Hortensia Moreno, Debate Feminista
Carlos MonsivÁis (1938–2010) was and continues to be recognized as one of the most renowned Mexican cultural critics of the second half of the twentieth century.
