The Chicano Studies Reader, the best-selling anthology of writings from Aztlan: A Journal of Chicano Studies, has been newly expanded with essays drawn from the past five years of publication. These essays update each of the thematic sections of the second edition: Decolonizing the Territory, Performing Politics, Configuring Identities, Remapping the World, and Continuing to Push Boundaries. A revised introduction by the volume's editors precedes each section and offers analysis and contextualization. This third edition documents the foundation of Chicano studies, testifies to its broad disciplinary range, and explores its continuing development.
