Joanna O'Connell here offers the first book-length study of all Castellanos' prose writings, focusing specifically on how Castellanos' experiences as a Mexican woman led her to an ethic of solidarity with the oppressed peoples of her home state of Chiapas.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eO'Connell provides an original and detailed analysis of Castellanos' first venture into feminist cultural analysis in her essay \u003ci\u003eSobre cultura feminina\u003c\/i\u003e (1950) and traces her moral and intellectual trajectory as feminist and social critic. An overview of Mexican indigenismo establishes the context for individual chapters on Castellanos' narratives of ethnic conflict (the novels \u003ci\u003eBalún Canán\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eOficio de tinieblas\u003c\/i\u003e and the short stories of \u003ci\u003eCiudad Real)\u003c\/i\u003e.
