Book Reviews of A Queer Mother for the Nation: The State and Gabriela Mistral
Book Review: New Elements on Mistral's Life and Beliefs.
Summary: 4 Stars
Gabriela Mistral, private and public. There's been much debate about the subject but Fiol-Matta takes it further and amplifies it. In the book, she touches on Mistral's possible Lesbianism or in a White-Race supremacy belief before turning into the defender of Native Americans and Mestizos. She also talks about the use of pictures and other visual elements to create Mistral's image. The book is not easy to read, but brings new aspects on Mistral's life to counterback her "Mythical" and "Sanctified" Image. And as the author says, it is an opportunity to re-read the author's work, one of Latin America's Finest.
