The chapters reveal how \"Chicano\" defines a literary critical sensibility as well as a political one and show how this view can yield new insights about the status of Mexican Americans, the legacies of colonialism, and the ongoing prospects for social justice. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChicana\/o literary representations emerge as significant examples of the local that interrogate globalization's attempts to erase difference. They also highlight how Chicana\/o literary studies' interests in racial justice and the minority experience have produced important intersections with new disciplines while also retaining a distinctive character. The recalibration of Chicana\/o literary studies in light of these shifts raises important methodological and disciplinary questions, which these chapters address as they introduce the new tools required for the study of Chicana\/o literature at this critical juncture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e William Orchard\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0822964147\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780822964148\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Pittsburgh Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/17\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 216\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.70d","brand":"William Orchard","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43926548644095,"sku":"9780822964148","price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_7160c13c-f759-4fe5-b4fd-90e706e8d92d.jpg?v=1681083685","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/bridges-borders-and-breaks-william-orchard-9780822964148","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
