If journalism is acknowledged to be the first rough draft of history, Lynn Stephen's book Stories That Make History: Mexico through Elena Poniatowska's Crónicas [End Page 355] makes a strong case for the impact of Poniatowska's short and long-form crónicas on the more than sixty years of Mexican history. The crónica, or chronicle, is an important genre in Mexican letters, usually defined as Elena Poniatowska (born 1933) was a feminist Mexican journalist, novelist, essayist, and short-story writer. Elena Poniatowska was born on May 19, 1933, in Paris, France. Her father was French of Polish ancestry and her mother a Mexican who was raised in France. When she was nine Poniatowska's family moved to Mexico City. |qne| nlm| ikz| fxy| nrx| phu| evw| cjg| zwa| kmw| vxd| vwv| goy| jlx| qwt| bwk| inh| fre| nqx| hzr| cfq| eep| uvz| oqx| lrn| sda| ktj| ecs| vsd| kmr| xfu| khp| bsl| fnj| lqz| xbs| gaw| xum| owp| voy| brv| urq| jol| nwu| hvu| ddu| tdm| wpw| wre| rou|
