Chicano Nations

Autor Marissa K. Lopez
en Limba Engleză Hardback – oct 2011
Chicano Nations argues that the trans-nationalism that is central to Chicano identity originated in the global, postcolonial moment at- the turn of the nineteenth century rather than as an effect of contemporary economic conditions, which began in the mid nineteenth century and primarily affected the labouring classes. The Spanish empire then began to implode, and colonists in the “new world” debated the national contours of the viceroyalties. This is where Marissa K. López locates the origins of Chicano literature, which is now and always has been “post-national,” encompassing the wealthy, the poor, the white, and the mestizo.Tracing the long history of Chicano literature and the diversity of subject positions it encompasses, Chicano Nations explores the shifting literary forms authors have used to write the nation from the nineteenth to the twenty-first centuries. López argues that while national and global tensions lie at the historical heart of Chicana/o narratives of the nation, there should be alternative ways to imagine the significance of Chicano literature other than as a reflection of national identity. In a nuanced analysis, the book provides a way to think of early writers as a meaningful part of Chicano literary history, and, in looking at the nation, rather than the particularities of identity, as that which connects Chicano literature over time, it engages the emerging hemispheric scholarship on U.S. literature.

Recenzii

"Engaging, smart, and lucid, Chicano Nations digs deep into the long history of Mexican America and finds an original story to tell. López’s analysis updates and refreshes the field of Chicano literature and makes a strong case for its continuing vitality in the twenty-first century.” – Kirsten Silva Gruesz, University of California, Santa Cruz
