Reviews
"What if the family, a foundational element of traditional Spanish culture, is not the normative institution it appears to be? This is the counterintuitive and attractive premise that drives Jerónimo’s book. From queer parenting to alternative masculinities, her exploration of non-normative families in novels and films compels readers to widen their understanding of parenting and caregiving in contemporary Spain to a more diverse catalogue of experiences."
Akiko Tsuchiya, Professor of Hispanic Studies, Washington University in St. Louis:
“Performing Parenthood offers a compelling analysis of the diverse spectrum of non-normative family configurations and relationships in contemporary Spanish cultural representations. Arguing that parenthood is a performative identity, Jerónimo shows how fluid and shifting gender roles and family models reflect the anxieties of an evolving society, while also making space for alternative familial constructions and concepts of parenthood. Elegantly written and cogently argued, the book makes a significant contribution to the field of modern Spanish literary and cultural studies.”
