      abstract = {As the descendants of Mexican immigrants have settled  throughout the United States, a great literature has  emerged, but its correspondences with the literature of  Mexico have gone largely unobserved. In this, the first  anthology to combine writing from both sides of the  Mexican-U.S. border, Cristina García presents a richly  cross-cultural conversation. Beginning with Mexican masters  such as Alfonso Reyes and Juan Rulfo, García highlights  historic voices such as "the godfather of Chicano  literature" Rudolfo Anaya, and Gloria Anzaldúa, who made a  powerful case for language that reflects bicultural  experience. From the fierce evocations of Chicano reality  in Jimmy Santiago Baca's Poem IX to the breathtaking images  of identity in Coral Bracho's poem "Fish of Fleeting Skin,"  this collection of fiction, essays, and poetry offers an  new vantage point on our continent--and on the best of  contemporary literature.--From publisher description.},
