Adapting Gender

Ilana Dann Luna is Assistant Professor of Spanish and Latin American Studies at Arizona State University.

"Drawing from Mexican as well as European and North American theorists, Luna's volume has the advantage of putting multiple film-critical traditions in dialog … Reading Luna's book invites us to imagine further possible extensions of her study." — Reception

"Adapting Gender demonstrates Luna's considerable skills as a scholar. She deftly carries out a careful analysis of the literary and cinematic texts, putting them in the context of the evolving publishing and film industries. Written in a lively and engaging style, this is a unique synthesis of the evolution of feminism and the roles women have had—indeed, at times, been limited to—in Mexico and what this has meant for their creative output." — Niamh Thornton, author of Revolution and Rebellion in Mexican Film
