description: New Visions, new ideas, daring inroads - are what the writers and critics of this creative and critical anthology of Chicano Literature undertake in their expansion of the frontiers of American Literature. The writers - Lorna Dee Cervantes, Denise Chavez, Lucha Corpi, Roberta Fernandez, Evangelina Vigil-Pinon, Helena M. Viramontes - embark on the exploration of Chicana sexuality, the destruction of patriarchy, innovations in style and themes. The critics - Norma Alarcon, Maria Herrera-Sobek, Julian Olivares, Tey Diana Rebolledo, Yvonne Yarbro-Bejarano - engage in a dialectic of theoretical American and European theories or an emancipation in search of an authentic Chicano critical discourse? Writers and critics, together, open up new dimensions for American literature.
