{"product_id":"landsmoder-9781945649912","title":"Landsmoder","description":"\u003ci\u003eLandsmoder\u003c\/i\u003e, by the Salvadoran poet, historian, and performance artist Elena Salamanca, is a searing, and sometimes grotesque, exploration of the intersections between nationalism, dogma, patriarchy, and violence. Originally read aloud from the oldest standing monument in San Salvador's centro histórico, the performance poems in \u003ci\u003eLandsmoder\u003c\/i\u003e retool the laudatory pomp of patriotic ceremony to protest the weaponization of national myth as a mask for erasure, cruelty, and neglect at the hands of the state. This unflinching collection, whose title comes from a Norwegian word that Salamanca translates as \"madre de la patria\" -- or \"mother of the nation\/homeland\/fatherland\"-- is a work of feminist grief, rage, and irony populated with churning wombs, bloodied flags, and ratteboned she-wolves. Appearing now in a bilingual edition nearly a decade after it was first performed, \u003ci\u003eLandsmoder \u003c\/i\u003eremains an urgent subversion, loud as ever, both on and off the page. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Not a Cult\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/05\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781945649912\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 85\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.90h x 4.80w x 0.40d","brand":"Elena Salamanca","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42487261135029,"sku":"9781945649912","price":16.11,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_eb7e2694-f3ba-47dd-9350-183c3af082bc.jpg?v=1667314663","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/landsmoder-9781945649912","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
