Chile Con Carne and Other Early Works: Chile Con Carne, ¿QUE PASA with LA RAZA, eh?, and In a Land Called I Don’t Remember - Softcover
With perceptive, unflinching wit, these three early plays from award-winning Chilean Canadian writer Carmen Aguirre document the hardships, horrors, and heartache of exile, revealing the far-reaching effects of dictatorial violence and terror. Highlighting the fresh perspective refugees bring to North American society, Chile Con Carne and Other Early Works also provides essential context for her more recent plays, Refugee Hotel, Blue Box, and The Trigger. Aguirre’s funny, poignant, and biting explorations of refuge and recovery are as pertinent now as when they were first written.

Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Three early plays from influential Canadian Latina playwright, Carmen Aguirre. The plays, Chile Con Carne, QUE PASA with LA RAZA, eh?, and In a Land Called I Dont Remember, deal with the experience of exile the hardships, the heartache, and the horror as well as revealing the fresh perspective refugees bring to North American society. Written in the 1990s, all three plays explore the far-reaching effects of the violence and terror the regime of now-ousted dictator Augusto Pinochet, still in power during the plays composition, inflicted on the Chilean population, both at home and abroad, effects explored in many of Aguirres award-winning later plays. These are impacts refugees cannot escape even when they manage to flee to physical safety; the plays explorations of refuge and recovery are as pertinent now as they were when they were first written. With perceptive, unflinching wit, these three early plays from award-winning Chilean Canadian writer Carmen Aguirre document the hardships, horrors, and heartache of exile, revealing the far-reaching effects of dictatorial violence and terror.
