The House on Mango Street is a coming-of-age novel by Sandra Cisneros, told in a series of vignettes, about a young Latina girl named Esperanza Cordero growing up in the Latino section of Chicago. It explores themes of identity, belonging, social class, and gender as Esperanza strives to find her place in the world and define her own identity.
Sandra Cisneros is an American writer. She is best known for her first novel, The House on Mango Street (1984), and her subsequent short story collection, Woman Hollering Creek and Other Stories (1991). Her work includes experimentation with emerging subject positions, which Cisneros attributes to growing up in a context of cultural hybridity and economic inequality that endowed her with unique stories to tell. She is the recipient of numerous awards, including a National Endowment for the Arts Fellowship, was awarded one of 25 new Ford Foundation Art of Change fellowships in 2017, and is regarded as a key figure in Chicano literature.
