Since colonial times, Chicano/a literature has varied with the
authors' assumptions about the class and gender of their audiences,
the linguistic choices available for literary communication, the
geographic mobility of writers and readers, and the tastes they may
have acquired in Mexico or other countries. In this examination of
Chicano/a literature, Manuel M. Martin-Rodriguez analyzes the ways
it connects with and is shaped by the interaction with its
audiences. Martin-Rodriguez begins this writing with an examination
of the Chicano movement of the 1960s and 1970s, when the creation
of Chicano-owned or controlled publishing enterprises made possible
a surge of Chicano/a literature at the national level. He then
concentrates on Chicana literature and "engendering" the reader and
on linguistic and marketing strategies for a multicultural
readership. Finally, Martin-Rodriguez provides a very thorough list
of Chicano/a literature that he studied and recommends for the
reader to consider.
