Nomadic New Women: Exile and Border-Crossing between Spain and the Americas, Early to Mid-Twentieth Century examines how gender and sexuality, border-crossing and exile intersect in women’s intellectual and artistic practices during the volatile historical period of the first half of the twentieth century, in and around Spain and the Americas. Each of the twelve chapters in this highly interdisciplinary volume analyzes the combined impact of gender and sexual identity, and the traversing of particular national and world-regional boundaries, on creative work. Together and separately, the contributors push the limits of past and present research on exile and migration, displacement and nomadism to reveal how the complex interrelationships among gender, sexuality, and cultural production come under intense pressure by the crossing of borders.
