Acclaimed author and essayist Rigoberto González commemorates the passion and the pain of these carvings in his new volume <em>Red-Inked Retablos,</em> a moving memoir of human experience and thought.</p><p>This frank new collection masterfully combines accounts from Gonzálezs personal life with reflections on writers who have influenced him. The collection offers an in-depth meditation on the development of gay Chicano literature and the responsibilities of the Chicana/o writer.</p><p>Widely acclaimed for giving a voice to the Chicano GLBT community, Gonzálezs writing spans a wide range of genres: poetry, fiction, nonfiction, and bilingual books for children and young adults. Introduced by Womens Studies professor Maythee Rojas, <em>Retablos</em> collects thirteen pieces that together provide a narrative of Gonzálezs life from his childhood through his career as a writer, critic, and mentor.</p><p>In <em>Red-Inked Retablos,</em> González continues to expand his oeuvre on <em>mariposa</em> (literally, butterfly) memory, a genre he pioneered in which Chicano/a writers openly address non-traditional sexuality. For González, mariposa memory is important testimony not only about reconfiguring personal identity in relation to masculinity, culture, and religion. Its also about highlighting values like education, shaping a sex-positive discourse, and exercising agency through a public voice. Its about making the queer experience a Chicano experience and the Chicano experience a queer one.</p>...3679446Red-Inked Retablos278386https://www.gandhi.com.mx/red-inked-retablos-9780816599929/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/3675652/df7cca47-82a6-4328-b5ee-d69fbb69bae4.jpg?v=638385713910630000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20139780816599929_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9780816599929_<p>In the Mexican Catholic tradition, retablos are ornamental structures made of carved wood framing an oil painting of a devotional image, usually a patron saint.
