Challenging the long-cherished notion of legal objectivity in the
United States, this book argues that Chicano history has been
consistently shaped by racially biased, combative legal
interactions. The book is an insightful and provocative exploration
of the ways Chicano and Chicana artists, writers, musicians and
filmmakers engage this history in order to resist the
disenfranchising effects of legal institutions, including the
prison and the court.;Gutierrez-Jones examines the process by which
Chicanos have become associated with criminality in both legal
institutions and mainstream popular culture in America and thereby
offers a new way of understanding minority social experience.
Drawing on gender studies and psychoanalysis, as well as critical
legal and critical race studies, Gutierrez-Jones's approach to the
law and legal discourse reveals the high stakes involved when
concepts of social justice are fought out in the home, in the
workplace and in the streets.
