TY - JOUR PY - 2004// TI - Violence in the Borderlands: Crossing to the Home Space in the Novels of Ana Castillo JO - Frontiers: a journal of women studies A1 - Johnson, Kelli Lyon SP - 39 EP - 58 VL - 25 IS - 1 N2 - Throughout her fiction Castillo's male characters use violence to control women's sexuality and to avenge its violation by other men, imposing and enforcing women's place—both the physical space women inhabit and the psychological and social space by which women are defined. Women's place is therefore socially constructed through external and marital violence.
