Women of color remain arguably the most economically, politically,
and socially marginalized group in the United States and the Third
World. In Spoils of War, a diverse group of distinguished
contributors suggest that acts of aggression resulting from the
racism and sexism inherent in social institutions can be viewed as
a sort of 'war, ' experienced daily by women of color.
The Chicano Studies Reader, the best-selling anthology of articles
from Aztlan: A Journal of Chicano Studies, has been newly expanded
with a group of essays that focus on Chicana/o and Latina/o youth.
This section, Generations against Exclusion, joins Decolonizing the
Territory, Performing Politics, (Re)Configuring Identities,
Remapping the World, and Continuing to Push Boundaries.
Introductions to each section offer analysis and contextualization.
This fourth edition of the Reader documents the foundation of
Chicano studies, testifies to its broad disciplinary range, and
explores its continuing development.
A new approach to feminist thought that challenges current critical
theories. In a work with far-reaching implications, Chela Sandoval
does no less than revise the genealogy of theory over the past
thirty years, inserting what she terms "U.S. Third World feminism"
into the narrative in a way that thoroughly alters our perspective
on contemporary culture and subjectivity. What Sandoval has
identified is a language, a rhetoric of resistance to postmodern
cultural conditions. U.S. liberation movements of the post-World
War II era generated specific modes of oppositional consciousness.
Out of these emerged a new activity of consciousness and language
Sandoval calls the "methodology of the oppressed." This
methodology—born of the strains of the cultural and identity
struggles that currently mark global exchange—holds out the
possibility of a new historical moment, a new citizen-subject, and
a new form of alliance consciousness and politics. Utilizing
semiotics and U.S. Third World feminist criticism, Sandoval
demonstrates how this methodology mobilizes love as a category of
critical analysis. Rendering this approach in all its specifics,
Methodology of the Oppressed gives rise to an alternative mode of
criticism opening new perspectives on any theoretical, literary,
aesthetic, social movement, or psychic expression.
In this interdisciplinary volume, contributors analyze the
expression of Latina/o cultural identity through performance. With
music, theater, dance, visual arts, body art, spoken word,
performance activism, fashion, and street theater as points of
entry, contributors discuss cultural practices and the fashoning of
identity in Latino/a communities throughout the US. Examining the
areas of crossover between Latin and American cultures gives new
meaning to the notion of "borderlands." This volume features senior
scholars and up-and-coming academics from cultural, visual, and
performance studies, folklore, and ethnomusicology.
