Chicano Poetics: Heterotexts and Hybridities
examines the crossing of
literary and social forces - be they linguistic, political, poetic - that
forms the context for being Chicano. Heterotextual poetics reveals
how a poetry of the cross can influence identity, in readings rang-
ing from the poetry of gender and race by Sor Juana Ines de la
Cruz to that of the fragmentary, postmodern subject of Juan Felipe
Herrera. How the
text
of Spanish and Indian miscegenation and
the story of Aztlan propagate identity is demonstrated in texts from
Bernal Diaz del Castillo to Gloria Anzaldua. The international
space and the interlingual language of the borderlands are read as
factors of nationalism and postcoloniality in discussion ranging
from cowboy lingo to the essential Mexicanism of Octavio Paz.
Heterotextuality is the medium in which xicanismo is articulated
and the xicano comes to be a hybrid subject of textual difference.
