Lecture: Leigh Johnson

The Feminist Research Institute invites you to a lecture:

"Historical Romance and Representation: Jovita González and Eve  Raleigh’s Collaboration and Correspondence"

Leigh Johnson,
Wednesday, October 6th
12:00- 1:00 pm
SUB, Cherry/Silver

Jovita González and Eve Raleigh (Margaret Eimer) coauthored the 1934  novel Caballero, yet critics continue to assign most of the content to  Gonzàlez. The historical romance features relationships between  Tejanos/as and Anglos that signify changes in the political climate of  South Texas. Letters from Eimer to González suggest a collaborative  effort unrecognized by scholars. Leigh Johnson will discuss the  letter, politics of collaboration, and what recognizing collaboration  means for Chicana studies.
