From Grandmother to Granddaughter скачать fb2

The life histories and testimonies of nine Salvadoran women from different generations shape this intimate portrayal of contemporary El Salvador. The authors interviewed a grandmother, mother, and granddaughter from three Salvadoran families: La Familia Nuñez, members of the upper class; La Familia Rivas, from El Salvador&apos;s growing middle class; and La Familia García, from the <I>campo</I>, the Salvadoran peasantry. The voices we hear convey a deep sense of the world of Salvadoran women and how life is lived in that Central American country today.<br /><br /> Each woman tells her own life story, and interspersed with recollections of childhood, marriage, and childrearing are revealing accounts of El Salvador&apos;s turbulent political past and present. Reflected in the stories are the vast changes in educational and occupational opportunities for women and the shifts in male-female relationships. Class differences are still a fundamental part of Salvadoran life, but changes are occurring in this area as well.<br /><br /> <I>From Grandmother to Granddaughter</I> is a vivid and authentic portrait of today&apos;s El Salvador that convincingly illustrates how individual lives can reflect the larger changes within a society.
