Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Finalist for the 2020 National Book Critics' Circle Award for Criticism By one of Mexico's greatest contemporary writers, this investigation into state violence and mourning gives voice to the political experience of collective pain. Grieving is a hybrid collection of short cronicas, journalism, and personal essays on systemic violence in contemporary Mexico and along the US-Mexico border. Drawing together literary theory and historical analysis, she outlines how neoliberalism, corruption, and drug trafficking--culminating in the misnamed "war on drugs"--has shaped her country. Working from and against this political context, Cristina Rivera Garza posits that collective grief is an act of resistance against state violence, and that writing is a powerful mode of seeking social justice and embodying resilience. She states: "As we write, as we work with language--the humblest and most powerful force available to us--we activate the potential of words, phrases, sentences. Writing as we grieve, grieving as we write: a practice able to create refuge from the open. Writing with others. Grieving like someone who takes refuge from the open. Grieving, which is always a radically different mode of writing." "A lucid, poignant collection of essays and poetry. . . . deeply hopeful, ultimately love letters to writing itself, and to the power of language to overcome the silence that impunity imposes." --New York Times Book Review "For all the losses tallied, the pieces are imbued with optimism and an activist's passion for reshaping the world." --The New Yorker This philosophical investigation into state violence and mourning in twenty-first-century Mexico weaves together personal essay and literary theory, giving voice to the political experience of collective pain.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - - Grieving will appeal to readers wanting to better understand the conflicts and violence in contemporary Mexico, a country that looms large for many US Americans but in vague detail. The subject matter of narco/government violence is clearly of great interest to US readers (the television show Narcos, for example) but Cristina Rivera Garza takes a completely different approach to the topic. Rather than examining the causes of violence, she explores the ways it affects the country and offers a mode of resistance in face of suffering.- The book mixes theory and personal essay. This style of hybrid writing only continues to increase in popularity (Maggie Nelson's The Argonauts or Andrea Long Chu's Females), and offers readers a departure from typically journalistic or sensationalized accounts of the political subject matter. Ultimately, the book calls for resistance by using of public grief to push back on the status quo of violence, both calling attention to the political issues and privileging a politics of care.- Cristina Rivera Garza is a writer in translation, but is also US-based and has a fast-growing US readership. She has published two English-language books (The Iliac Crest and The Taiga Syndrome) in the last two years and is extremely active in literary and academic sphere. She will also be publishing two other books from university presses in fall 2020, alongside Grieving.…
