[Review of] Manuel de Jesus Hemandez-Gutierrez and David William Foster, eds. Literatura Chicana, 1965-1995: An Anthology in Spanish, English, and Calo
The works included in this anthology, many of them previously printed, reflect six characteristic themes of Chicana/o contemporary literature: the search for identity, feminism, conservatism, revisionism, homoeroticism, and internationalism (xix). Organized chronologically according to various literary genres and replete with many useful notes, the anthology contains no index. Further, Literatura Chicana could also be assigned as required reading in American Studies courses, specifically in contemporary American literature courses, even though the editors suggest that the anthology be adopted for university level humanities, Spanish, ethnic, Chicana/o literature courses, in women\u27s studies programs and social science departments
