      abstract = {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 ranging  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.},
