23. Sandra Cisneros (b. 1954) cisneros s House on Mango Street has already generated a number of critical responses, including Ellen McCracken, sandra cisneros The House on Mango http://college.hmco.com/english/heath/syllabuild/iguide/cisnero.html

Sandra Cisneros (b. 1954) Contributing Editor: Lora Romero Classroom Issues and Strategies Students generally find reading Cisneros a delightful experience. The brevity and humor of her stories help make them accessible even to those unfamiliar with the Mexican-American culture in which much of her writing is set. In fact, one of my colleagues taught Cisneros very successfully to students in Galway, Ireland. One potential source of discomfort for students is Cisneros's manifestly feminist sensibility. Some students may accuse her (as they would accuse virtually any other feminist writer) of "man-bashing." When this issue comes up, I point out that, ironically, defining feminism in that way makes men the center of attention. Then I encourage students to talk about what they think feminism means and/or should mean. Sometimes students with more sophisticated definitions of feminism can convince their peers that feminism does not reduce to man-hating; in any case, giving the students a forum for talking through the issue is usually productive since it is one about which they will probably have strong (if unexamined and unarticulated) opinions. The feminism of women of color, however, is complicated by ethnic identification. Some students will be assuming that ethnic authors should offer only "positive" images of minoritieswhich means, in effect, talking about sexism in minority communities is off-limits. I encourage students to interrogate their assumptions about ethnic authors' "duties." At the same time, I acknowledge that being both a woman of color and a feminist can be a difficult task since one of the stereotypes of Latino men (and non-white men generally) is that "they treat their women badly." Then I try to turn students' attention back to the text to see if they can find evidence that some tension between ethnic and gender identity is shaping the narrative.

MORE STORIES U-M Hispanic Heritage Month Author Sandra Cisneros to explore complexity of Latina identity By Vivianne Schnitzer The kaleidoscope of U.S. Latino identity includes people from 20 countries, different ethnicities, religions and distinct accents who speak a mix of Spanish, Portuguese and English. This complexity will be explored in the Hispanic Heritage Month keynote address by writer and poet Sandra Cisneros titled, "Why I'm Not Hispanic." Cisneros (Photo by Ray Santiesteban) Cisneros, 52, will speak at Rackham Auditorium at 7:30 p.m. Sept. 28. The provocative title of her talk is, "It is Hispanic Heritage Month, but I Have Never Self-identified as Hispanic." Author of the landmark novel "The House on Mango Street" (1983) that sold more than 2 million copies, Cisneros also will share a very personal dialogue with Ruth Behar, U-M professor of anthropology and women's studies. "Talking In Our Pajamas: A Conversation Between Sandra Cisneros and Ruth Behar" is from 11 a.m.-1 p.m. Sept. 29 in 3512 Haven Hall. Cisneros now is working on a book called "Writing in My Pajamas," devoted to how she teaches writing. Students can find their voices by imagining they are in their pajamas "talking to someone who they know so well, they wouldn't have to excuse themselves and get dressed," she says.

The Internet TESL Journal Sandra Cisneros' The House on Mango Street: Experiencing Poetical Prose (Essay and Lesson Plan) Carole A. Poppleton cpopplet [at] mica.edu Maryland Institute, College of Art (Baltimore, MD, USA) What does it mean to have "lazy hair" or hair that "smells like bread?" How can a name be "muddy" or sound as if it were made out of "tin?" What do front porch steps "all lopsided and jutting like crooked teeth" look like? How can a pair of small black dogs "leap and somersault like an apostrophe and comma?" As English and ESL teachers we want to assist our international students with acquiring the skills to communicate effectively in their target language; however, we also realise that there is so much more to language mastery than the memorisation of vocabulary and sentence patterns or knowledge of grammar and punctuation rules. Most of us also want our students to be familiar with the beauty and power of English, with the possibilities of words and phrases to evoke emotions and create sensory impressions. By incorporating literature into the ESL classroom - poetry, drama, fiction- we can assist our L2 learners with the nuances and creativeness of their new language. In a recent college-level literature course I used Sandra Cisneros' book The House on Mango Street (Vintage Books, 1989). This class was comprised of twelve students (average TOEFL 550) representing five countries. Our special focus for this course was the term the "American Dream." Through a variety of readings and perspectives, we tried to come to a deeper understanding of this mercurial concept. Even though Cisneros' novel addresses pertinent issues of gender, race, ethnicity, and social class (general themes we were exploring in the course), it proved to be far more of a linguistic tool, helping my class to understand language on a variety of sensory levels. In this text we moved beyond what was being said (the story) to study carefully and to feel how it was being said (the style).

31. Sandra Cisneros Interview With Don Swaim sandra cisneros is interviewed by Don Swaim of CBS Radio. http://wiredforbooks.org/sandracisneros/

Wired For Books home Don Swaim Interviews Audio Interview with Sandra Cisneros Sandra Cisneros, author of Bad Boys House on Mango Street , and Woman Hollering Creek , combines her experiences working with high school drop-outs, the disempowerd and the ignored of the world, and fragments from her own life as a Mexican-American growing up in Chicago into her short stories and poems. She said she finds herself especially attracted to children because of her keen abtitude for demonstrating the difficulty children have in expressing their sadness and trauma to adults, and the difficulty adults have in understanding child sadness and trauma. "I'm 36 on the outside, but on the inside I'm 10, I'm 14, I'm 27, and I'm 5," she said. "I don't forget what it feels like. I remember what that was like." That skill is evident in her reading of an expert from Eleven , a short story from her collection, Woman Hollering Creek To hear more about her inspirations and about the story she is more proud of, Eyes of Zapata , click on the link below.

Internationally acclaimed for her poetry and fiction, and the recipient of numerous awards including two National Endowment for the Arts Fellowships, Cisneros is also the author of Woman Hollering Creed and Other Stories and two collections of poetry: My Wicked, Wicked Ways, and Loose Woman. The House on Mango Street tells the story of Esperanza Cordero, whose neighborhood is one of harsh realities and hard beauty. Esperanza doesn't want to belong not to her rundown neighborhood, and not to the low expectations the world has for her. Esperanza's story is that of a young girl coming into her power, and inventing for herself what she will become. "It's not always that a luscious writer can be a luscious reader of her own work. This must be the voice she hears in her head when she writes her magical prose." -Julia Alvarez, author of "How the Garcia Girls Lost Their Accents." Listen to an excerpt from The House on Mango Street (Random House Audio) as Sandra Cisneros brings to life this greatly admired novel.

Search Cornell Search Chronicle Online Sept. 17, 2007 Cisneros tries to make peace with the creative process Jason Koski/University Photography Sandra Cisneros holds sway in Rockefeller Hall, Sept. 13. By George Lowery "And I'm not even dead!" That was how the poet and novelist Sandra Cisneros reacted to thunderous applause Sept. 13 from a packed audience in Cornell's Rockefeller Hall. A tiny woman of 52 whose voice rings like that of an enthusiastic teenager, Cisneros visited Cornell as part of the Creative Writing Reading Series. Department of English chair Molly Hite said Cisneros is the writer most requested by Cornell students and faculty. "Both a poet and a fiction writer and someone who often weaves the two modes until they fuse, Cisneros opens up extraordinary possibilities in the woven and sometimes nearly fused languages, English and Spanish," Hite said. "She's a literary risk-taker, a violator who's also, and best of all, a creator. Who makes wonderful people out of language and clothes them in atmospheres, neighborhoods [and] dream lives." Cisneros said her writing straddles genres: "They're always these amphibians." She is author of the novel "The House on Mango Street," which sold 2 million copies, and poetry collections, including "Loose Women" and "My Wicked Wicked Ways." The winner of a MacArthur fellowship in 1995, Cisneros draws on her Mexican-American heritage and childhood in Chicago.

RSS Font: S S+ S++ Her new novel, "Caramelo," is a multigenerational story of a Mexican-American family whose voices create a dazzling weave of humor, passion and poignancy. Lala Reyes' grandmother is descended from a family of renowned rebozo, or shawl, makers. The striped caramelo rebozo is the most beautiful of all, and the one that makes its way, like the family history it has come to represent, into Lala's possession. The novel opens with the Reyes' annual car trip a caravan overflowing with children, laughter and quarrels from Chicago to "the other side": Mexico City. It is there, each year, that Lala hears her family's stories, separating the truth from the "healthy lies" that have ricocheted from one generation to the next. We travel from the Mexico City that was the "Paris of the New World" to the music-filled streets of Chicago at the dawn of the Roaring '20s and, finally, to Lala's own difficult adolescence in the not-quite-promised land of San Antonio, Texas.
