Product Description
Decolonial Voices offers a range of interdisciplinary essays that discuss racialized, subaltern, feminist and diasporic identities and the aesthetic politics of hybrid and mestiza/o cultural productions. In doing so, this volume brings together a body of theoretically rigorous interdisciplinary essays that articulate and expand the contours of Chicana and Chicano cultural studies.

Aldama (Arizona State Univ.) and Quiñones (Quinones) (California State Univ., Fullerton) have assembled a remarkable range of essays on topics ranging from dresses and body art, film, popular music (including Chicano rap), and literary works to race, nationalism, and gender. The situation of undocumented workers gets full attention. The collection is especially strong on Chicana issues, redressing the male-centered atmosphere of the early Chicano movement. The level of the writing is high, though a few of the essays are sodden with jargon. The editors provide no overall bibliography, but most of the essays have lengthy bibliographies of their own. The index is unusually detailed, which is very helpful with a wide-ranging collection like this one. The use of illustrations where needed, as in the treatment of film and body art, is a bonus. This essential work cuts across disciplinary boundaries and illuminates many aspects of contemporary Chicana/o life. The work closest to it in spirit is Criticism in the Borderlands, ed. by Héctor (Hector) Calderón (Calderon) and José (Jose) David Saldívar (Saldivar) (CH, Jun'92), though Decolonial Voices gives more attention to popular culture. All collections.B. Almon, University of Alberta, Choice, November 2002
