Chicana Traditions features essays from professionals engaged with
a broad and ever-expanding Chicana expressive culture. Professors
and students, performing artists and folklorists, and archivists
and activists merge personal experience with formal discussion to
share fascinating inside stories. The topics include a professional
woman mariachi performer; the creation and evolution of the
escaramuza charra (all-female precision riding team) within the
male-dominated Mexican rodeo; the ranchera music of the
transnational performer Lydia Mendoza, the complex crossover of
Selena's Tejano music, and the bottle cap and jar lid art of Goldie
Garcia. An eye-opening journey through a borderland where cultures
and identities converge, Chicana Traditions reveals how Chicanas
continue to invent, reshape, and transcend their traditional
culture.
