Summary
A new generation of readers and scholars of Gabriela Mistral (1889–1957) are reinvigorating her work by using feminist, decolonial, and queer approaches that openly acknowledge her work’s ambivalence regarding feminism and race, map her participation in transatlantic networks, and broaden her corpus through numerous new editions. These new perspectives reject the normative, matriarchal image of Mistral cultivated by the Chilean state and recognize Mistral’s extraordinary experiences as a diplomat and educator in addition to the intersectional nuances of her poetry and nonfiction. Widely read during her lifetime, she was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1945, the first Latin American author to receive it.
