Summary:

"The Decolonial Imaginary is a smart, challenging book that disrupts agreat deal of what we think we know... it will certainly be read seriously inChicano/a studies." -- Women's Review of Books -- Emma P rezdiscusses the historical methodology which has created Chicano history and arguesthat the historical narrative has often omitted gender. She poses a theory whichrejects the colonizer's methodological assumptions and examines new tools foruncovering the hidden voices of Chicanas who have been relegated tosilence.
