Förlagets beskrivning
This anthology of Chicano literary criticism, with essays on a remarkable
range of texts - both old and new - draws on diverse perspectives in
contemporary literary and cultural studies; from ethnographic to postmodernist,
from Marxist to feminist, from cultural materialist to new historicist. The editors have organized essays around four broad themes, the situation
of Chicano literary studies within American literary history and debates about
the "canon"; representations of the Chicana/o subject; genre, ideology and
history; and the aesthetics of Chicano literature. The volume as a whole aims
at generating new ways of understanding what counts as culture and "theory" and
who counts as a theorist. A selected and annotated bibliography of contemporary
Chicano literary criticism is also included. By recovering neglected authors and texts and introducing new perspectives
on American literary process itself, "Criticism in the Borderlands" is an
agenda-setting collection that moves beyond previous scholarship to open up the
field of Chicano literary studies and to define anew what is American
literature. An anthology of Chicano literary criticism, with essays on a range of
texts, both old and new, drawing on diverse perspectives in contemporary
literary and cultural studies - from ethnographic to postmodernist, from
Marxist to feminist, from cultural materialist to new historicist.
