Summary:

This collection of critical essays addresses the complex relationship between contemporary literature theory and Chicano literature--a literature that is not part of the traditional literary cannon. The contributors, including Yolanda Julia Broyles, H#65533;ctor Calder#65533;n, Margarita Cot#65533;-C#65533;rdenas, Lauro Flores, Patricia de la Fuente, Rolando Hinojosa, Luis Leal, Jos#65533; David Sald#65533;var, Ram#65533;n Sald#65533;var, Mar#65533;a I. Duke dos Santos, and Rosaura S#65533;nchez, draw upon a diverse array of theories--Marxist, feminist, post-structuralist--to make fresh, critical comments, not only on Rolando Hinojosa's work, Klail City Death Trip series, but also on literary theory today.
