Rewriting North American Borders in Chicano and Chicana Narrative by Monika Kaup Pdf
Kaup (English, U. of Washington, Seattle) offers a study of the manifestations and transformations of the important theme of the border between the US and Mexico in Chicano narrative since 1960. Three topics are discussed in detail: the history of native origins in the borderlands, the (im)migration experience, and the Chicana experience. Theory is presented, along with detailed readings of many major and some minor Chicana and Chicano writers, including Gloria Anzaldua, Norma Cantu, Ana Castillo, Sandra Cisneros, Rolando Hinojosa, Ruben MartInez, and others.
