Description
During the Chicano Movement in the 1960s and 1970s, the idea of Aztlan, homeland of the ancient Aztecs, served as a unifying force in an emerging cultural renaissance. Does the term remain useful? This expanded new edition of the classic 1989 collection of essays about Aztlan weighs its value. To encompass new developments in the discourse the editors have added six new essays.
Reviews / Votes
"After close to half a century of elaboration on the concept and cultural forces of Aztlan, with this edition we encounter new sets of thinking, radical perspectives, and most of all, perhaps, we can see ourselves in the universe as never before-turning, repivoting a new poetic mind, a fuller humanity. These authors are brilliant, daring pioneers. Bravo!"-Juan Felipe Herrera, United States Poet Laureate , 2015-2016More details
