The Chicano Renaissance Contemporary Cultural Trends
- Binding: Paperback
- Edition: 2
- Publisher: Univ of Arizona Pr
- Publish date: 09/01/2000
This collection examines changes across a broad range of cultural forms -- art, literature, music, cinema and television, radio, and theater -- with an emphasis on the last two decades. Original articles by both established and emerging scholars review such subjects as the growth of Tejano music and the rise of Selena, how films and television have affected the Chicana/o experience, the evolution of Chicana/os art over the last twenty years, and postmodern literary trends.
In all of the essays, the contributors emphasize that, contrary to the popular notion that Chicanas/os have succumbed to a victim mentality, they continue to actively struggle to shape the conditions of their lives and to influence the direction of American society through their arts and social struggle. Despite decades usually associated with self-interest in the larger society, the spirit of commitment and empowerment has continued to infuse Chicana/o cultural expression and points toward a vibrant future.
