Erased Faces

Fiction. Latino/a Studies. Weaving the threads of Lacandon myth and history with the events culminating in the guerilla uprising, Graciela Limon in ERASED FACES creates a rich fabric that restores an identity to those rendered invisible, or whose faces were erased by years of oppression. ERASED FACES is a story about forbidden love set against the backdrop of a complicated war. "What courage to take on the Chiapas rebellion, to tell that story from the point of view of women and their own double and triple struggles for liberation from not only a racial and economic war, but a sexual one..."-Alicia Gaspar de Alba, author of Sor Juana's Second Dream.
