Whiteness and American Literature
This volume provides an illuminating exploration of how ideas about whiteness have shaped the literature and culture of the United States. Covering nearly 250 years – from the 1790 Naturalization Act, which limited access to citizenship to immigrants who were 'free white person[s],' to the present – Whiteness and American Literature considers how a broad spectrum of novels, movies, short stories, television shows, poems, songs, and other works de…
Whiteness on the Border
The many lenses of racism through which the white imagination sees Mexicans and Chicanos Historically, ideas of whiteness and Americanness have been built on the backs of racialized communities. The legacy of anti-Mexican stereotypes stretches back to the early nineteenth century when Anglo-American settlers first came into regular contact with Mexico and Mexicans. The images of the Mexican Other as lawless, exotic, or non-industrious continue to…
Yearning to Belong, Drawn to Be Mexican
This essay analyzes two contemporary Hollywood films-Fools Rush In (1997) and McFarland, USA (2015)-to highlight the mainstream imaginary of the relationship between Mexicanness and whiteness. We argue that these fi lms reveal how the existence and persistence of an emotionally impoverished whiteness becomes visible beside, against, and through Mexican affective fullness. We develop the term "white lack" to represent how whiteness, in all its mod…
Literature as History
In Literature as History Mario T. García explores the archival and history-telling potential of literary works, including autobiography, testimonios, and novels. García may be placed in a long line of scholars who have worked to bridge these disciplinary fields. In Chicana/o studies this effort to deeply consider the relationship between history and literature has often been taken up by scholars with literary or interdisciplinary training. García…

Mythohistorical Interventions
This book explores how myth and history impacted the social struggle of the Chicano movement and the postmovement years. Drawing on archival materials and political speeches as well as music and protest poetry, the text scrutinizes the ideas that emerged from the effort to organize and legitimize the Chicano movement’s aims. Examining the deployment of the Aztec eagle by the United Farm Workers union, the poem Yo Soy Joaquín, the document El Plan…
Hero Making in El Movimiento
This article explores sites of tension and influence between the New Mexico land grant movement and Chicano nationalism. While these efforts diverged often in terms of aims and strategies, they nonetheless found common ground, shaping arguments and providing support to each other during critical years. Moreover, central to their convergence was a moment of historical confluence. I argue that the infamous June 5, 1967, raid propelled Reies López T…
