This volume encompasses an exceptional series of contributions that, through various theoretical frameworks and methods of analysis, examine relevant aspects related to Chicano culture and literature. By incorporating theoretical contributions and detailed readings, the chapters deal with aspects of great importance within Chicano Studies, such as Chicano identity, which will be examined through its connection with concepts such as self-determination, resistance, ethnic identity, preservation of culture and the historical legacy and the construction of femininity in Chicano culture, without forgetting the notions of border and miscegenation. As a consequence of its interdisciplinary approach, this book will be attractive not only for the growing number of students, researchers and professionals interested in Chicano Studies, but for all those fascinated by both contemporary issues and current reality.
