Chicano Theater: Themes and Forms (Studies in the Language & Literature of United States Hispanos)
byJorge A. Huerta bookshelves: currently-reading
top notch scholarship on Chicano Theater (so says the title). I am using this book for a project I'm doing on Luis Valdez, it's very helpful. As one of the main chicano dramatist, Jorge Huerta spends a good deal of time on his work.

No One Is Illegal: Fighting Racism and State Violence on the U.S.-Mexico Border (Paperback)
byJustin Akers Chacon bookshelves: currently-reading
I find the book every informative historically about immigrants in general in the united states and their relation with the labor movement as well as repression from racist organizations.
I find the book easy to read and quickpaced as well. I'm generally pretty impressed with the quality of texts from Haymarket, incorporating pictures, for example.

to: My Father Was a Toltec: And Selected Poems 1973-1988 (Paperback)byAna Castillo
Wonderfully phrased poetry that comes from a Chicana (Mexican American Female) perspective. The voice resonates as frightening and powerful despite moments of weakness that are suffered by the characters.
