Chicana Feminisms

"This remarkable collection of essays registers the efforts of Chicanas, against all odds, to document, imagine, and understand the complexity of their histories and experiences. Particularly impressive are the open-ended discussions between academics, artists, and writers. The essays brilliantly support the editors' claim that the Chicanas have invented new forms and have intervened decisively in the debates on gender and ethnicity. "Chicana Feminisms" will be an essential reference for many years to come."--Jean Franco, author of "Critical Passions: Selected Essays"
