aThe Chicana/o Cultural Studies Forum conveys all the lucidity,
passion, dynamism, and insightfulness of the field over several
generations of scholars. The book captures the deeply collective
character that Chicana/o cultural studies has exemplified since its
beginnings.a
--Mary Louise Pratt, New York University
The Chicana/o Cultural Studies Forum brings together a diverse
group of scholars whose work spans the interdisciplinary fields of
Chicana/o studies and cultural studies. Editor Angie
Chabram-Dernersesian provides an overview of current debates,
locating Chicana/o cultural criticism at the intersections of these
fields. She then acts as moderator of a virtual roundtable of
critics, including Frances Aparicio, Lisa Lowe, George Lipsitz,
Wahneema Lubiano, Renato Rosaldo, Jose David Saldivar, and Sonia
Saldivar-Hull.
This highly collaborative and deeply interdisciplinary project
addresses the questions: What is the relationship between Chicana/o
studies and cultural studies? How do we do cultural studies from
within Chicana/o cultural studies? How do Chicana/o cultural
studies formations (hemispheric, borderland, and feminist)
intermingle? The lively conversations documented here attest to the
vitality and spirit of Chicana/o cultural studies today and track
the movements between disciplines that share an interest in the
study of culture, power relations, identity, and
representation.
This book offers a unique resource for understanding not just
the development of Chicana/o cultural studies, but how new social
movements and epistemologies travel and affiliate with progressive
forms of social inquiry in the global era.
