Cutler, John AlbaAuthor
'Ends of Assimilation' compares sociological and Chicano/a (Mexican-American) literary representations of assimilation. It argues that while Chicano/a literary works engage assimilation in complex, often contradictory ways, they manifest an underlying conviction in literature's productive power. At the same time, Chicano/a literature demonstrates assimilation sociology's inattention to its status as a representational discourse.
