Focusing on the role race plays in expressions of Chicano culture, this work is a provocative exploration of the volatility and mutability of racial identities. Informed by theoretical investigation of identity politics and race and incorporating feminist and queer critiques, the author analyzes Chicano cultural production.

This book studies the central aesthetic and thematic concerns recent Chicano poetry addresses, and places a 'minority' literature within the central concerns of contemporary literary and cultural studies. The book addresses issues related to Chicano identity, focusing on the contribution women writers and thinkers have made in articulating this identity.
