FYI--  University of Minnesota Press has a new book which examines the 
relationship of gender and sexuality to writing and state building during 
revolutionary movements.

"Women, Guerrillas, and Love" by Ileana Rodriguez (1996) focuses on
"politically committed" literature (works of Che Guevara, Omar Cabezas, Tomas 
Borge, Sergio Ramirez, and Arturo Arias) to explain what went wrong in the 
process of liberation in Central America. More importantly, Rodriguez uses 
these texts to analyze the relationship between the collective and woman, and 
between woman and the nation-state.
