Förlagets beskrivning
This volume offers a study of racialized, subaltern, feminist and diasporic
identities and the aesthetic politics of hybrid and mestiza/o cultural
productions. In doing so, it brings together a body of theoretically rigorous
interdisciplinary essays that articulate and expand the contours of Chicana and
Chicano cultural studies. This collection seeks to represent several key
directions in the field: first, it charts how subaltern cultural productions of
the US/Mexico borderlands (film, art, music, literature, popular culture and
alternate historiographies) speak to what Walter Mignolo has called the
intersections of "local", "hemispheric" and "globalized" power relations of the
border imaginary. Second, this collection excavates and recovers the Mexican
women's and Chicana literary and cultural heritages (1850s to the 21st century)
that have been ignored and suppressed by Euroamerican canons and patriarchal
exclusionary practices. The collection also seeks to expand the field in post-nationalist
directions by creating an interethnic, comparative and transnational dialogue
between Chicana and Chicano, African American, Mexican feminist, and US Native
American cultural vocabularies. In charting these discursive movements of this
growing and heterogeneous field, there is a commitment to understand how
Chicana and Chicano cultural productions articulate a resistance to the
multiplicity of oppression across race, class, gender and sexuality, while
performing a cultural mestizaje and hybridity in the age of transnational
globalizations. A range of interdisciplinary essays that discuss racialized, subaltern,
feminist and diasporic identities and the aesthetic politics of hybrid and
mestiza/o cultural productions. They examine Chicana/o music, feminist
historiographies, poetics, digital art and popular cultures.
