Reviews

Resisting Invisibility is directed to readers and scholars interested in the history of the crime fiction genre in Spain and the role of the female body in the origins and evolution of the genre. Demonstrating expansive familiarity with all of the relevant scholarship on women's crime fiction in Spain, Diana Aramburu investigates feminist and gender theories of crime fiction, as well as portrayals of female bodies. These bodies include the delinquent body, the victimized body, the eroticized body, and the detecting body. - Nina L. Molinaro, Department of Spanish and Portuguese, University of Colorado at Boulder Resisting Invisibility is stunning in both depth and breadth. Diana Aramburu is thoroughly steeped in the literature on the subject as well as feminist theory, feminist crime fiction theory, the extant criticism on crime fiction in Spain, and the history of the genre. Theory and criticism are integrated seamlessly into discussion of specific texts throughout. - Nancy Vosburg, Department of World Languages and Cultures, Stetson University
