Narratives of Greater Mexico: Essays on Chicano Literary History, Genre, and Borders

Chicana and Chicano writers were long pushed to the margins of literature, seen as neither fully Mexican nor truly American. Héctor Calderón argues that these writers have been at the forefront of change, articulating multicultural identities, shifting loyalties and border realities.

The essays cover Chicano literary history, questions of genre, and the idea of the border. They also consider how the postmodern anxieties and hostilities of the twenty-first century appear in this writing.

Readers of Chicano and Latino literature, and of borderlands studies, will find the collection a useful account of how the field has developed.
