Chicano Poetics: Heterotexts and Hybridities examines the crossing
of literary and social forces - be they linguistic, political,
poetic - that forms the context for being Chicano. It reveals how a
poetry of the cross can influence identity, in readings ranging
from the poetry of gender and race by Sor Juana Ines de la Cruz to
that of the fragmentary, postmodern subject of Juan Felipe Herrara.
How the text of Spanish and Indian miscegenation and the story of
Aztlan propagate identity is demonstrated in texts from Bernal Diaz
del Castillo to Gloria Anzaldua. The international space and the
interlingual language of the borderlands are read as factors of
nationalism and postcoloniality in discussion ranging from cowboy
lingo to the essential Mexicanism of Octavio Paz. Heterotextuality
is the medium in which xicanismo is articulated and comes to be a
hybrid subject of textual difference.
