Abstract
This article interprets Galician literature as a cultural product of resistance constructed in and by a persecuted language. The status of the language calls for a series of conscious decisions by the writer and also influences how the work will be read, bestowing it with an unequivocally transgressive force. The author does not propose to offer an objective and neutral perspective but to explain her own experience as a writer and to contribute to the debate with a partial and intentionally subjective account, which by no means makes it false.
