Reviews
“Nowhere does the critical spatial imagination flourish more creatively than in Chicana literature. And nowhere is it more effectively expressed than in Extinct Lands, Temporal Geographies. With her own sense of political and cultural urgency, Mary Pat Brady explores the multiple spatial and sexual borderlands of Chicana life, opening up a passionate and transgressive geography that sizzles with insight.”—Edward W. Soja, author of Postmetropolis: Critical Studies of Cities and Regions
"Extinct Lands, Temporal Geographies is an outstanding work that reveals the connection between Chicana bodies, literary texts, and geopolitical space. It offers a conceptual framework based on theories of spatialization that provide a greater understanding of what Chicana writing does and why it is significant to our understanding of contemporary U.S. culture. Nobody else does what Mary Pat Brady does so well here."—Rafael Pérez-Torres, author of Movements in Chicano Poetry: Against Myths, Against Margins
”An important contribution to literary studies and spacial critique. In a masterful weave of spatial memories, Extinct Lands and Temporal Geographies unravels the contested national imagery of la frontera.”—Mary Romero, coeditor of Latino/a Popular Culture
