The present paper aims at familiarizing readers with Ana Castillo’s reshaping of traditional female archetypes in her novel So Far from God. Not only does she remodel and enrich them, she also incorporates them into modern, contemporary life. In addition, all the female characters in the novel are drawn together towards Sofia, the all-encompassing self, the multiple Other.

Employing hybridity as a tool of postcolonial critique, and gender as an analytical category, the article discusses the hybrid characteristics of three paradigmatic representations of Chicana femininity, i.e. Cortés’ interpreter La Malinche, the religious icon La Virgen de Guadalupe, and the mythological child-murderer La Llorona. Reading against the power structures of androcentrism and colonialism, the text analyses Chicana re-evaluations and reinterpretations of these fi gures so that they no longer function as fundaments of defamation of women and/or their sexuality, but as empowering role-models for contemporary Chicanas. Motherhood and the “loss” of offspring is further analysed in the text as a condition uniting the members of this cultural female trinity. In conclusion, the strategic methods of re-invention and the ongoing, strategic hybridisation performed by Chicana authors are also touched upon in the article.
