The Writing of our destiny and the destiny of our writing. Lomeli/ Vries* INTRODUCTION Approaching Literature A body of literature remains unknown ,until it is experienced through' a series of stages. Aesthetic appreciation mink give way to :a more reflective and critical reading; otherwise,that literature simply forms an integral part of chaos, lacking form and offering ,an unintelligible meaning. A need for creating a total context then becomes essential so that the reader can identify the unique points of reference that are characteristic of a people's expression: their inner thoughts in written form.. The Nature of Literature Literature manifests vitality through the Written word, thus depicting, in fra ments, the Subconscious part of a people. In this sense, it clearly reflects they forces of a people's inner dimension, be they obstacles, passions, als, or simply flashes of their circumstance. Literiture mirrors the mul- iple personalities and motivations, the small victories and the quiets suffer- ings, the outcries and the anguish existence in its many phases. Literature assimilates all possible experiences in ()icier to'recreate an ciriginitl reality, something as basic as human relationships or as new as in enlightenment. For these reasons, literature is history, economics, psychology,,phliosophy, politics and sociology3molded by the acts of inspiration and creativity into a literary form which ainis to produce an effectthat transcends the limits of merely infonting. 9 of, ,?9fje 6144 Orig o1. Chicle Literature Chicano literature, basically a coniemporary phenomena, initially de- pended on a retrospectile world-view in trying to rectify the stigma of non - history. Althotigh the Chicano Movement of the Mid 1960's provided this 'literature with an: identifiable classification for the first time, its actual origins began with theldexican-American COnfiontation in the mid 1800'i. Withthe Treaty of quadalupe-Hidalgo ,n 1848,- Mexicans automatically became Chicanos, circumstancially at least because the .term 'Chicano" was not common then. It would only be imatter of time until a people came torealize their marginal historical-economic-political situation (within a territory now a Mental/ spiritual noncountry they still considered to be theirs. The traces of originality in their expression were not perceived right away, .in part, due to the continuation of enrooted Spanish-Mexican literary tradi- tions. Isolation made-Communication difficult; economics produced a limited readiniptiblicr Anglo occupation changedrioritie -ama cceptablridentity became an issue. If lip-service promises offered legal protection, actual ex- perience: proved. to Chicanos that they were a displaced people in a land which still had theimprintsof their labor. As a consequence, literary expres- sion remained art amorphous body-written by a few. Describing historical, reality as it wag became a dangerous matter, assuming that the conqueredwere supposed to resign themselves to their new position. These circumstances, then, tended to produce lyrical-escapist,unpublishedillintest, nostalgia-filled prose and poittry which too often disintegrated in oldfamily cheits. In ac- cordance with the. spirit of the times, literature was vielid as part of a social ritual and not as an instrument for understanding society. ef Historical Dilemmas When a people endures the same dilemma for over a century, it tends to internalize its struggle until a more appropriate time. Chicanoresurgence or defiance currently represents an overdue emanationof cultural self. A loss of power and a flexible slave market forced the Chicano to concentrate on immediate needs for survival (food, shelter), whilestruggling to retain , certain traditions. If the sun's rays were not enough toweakentelf-confidence and identity, Anglo schools and legal systems prodded the coup de grace to instill a secondary status. 10 An Ideology of Many Facie As noted, Chicano literature prior to the 1960's, tended to reflectChi- , nano realititt without any ideological base. However subtle, 'ideology now plays an important part in the literature because social issues are.treated pot a toys but as elements.with Which to create asocio-political-artistic aware-. ness. A sense of yOMonsibility social and/ or artistic permeattsChicano) expression oVehly or poetically. Although this literature is political in the cultural sense, its prithary characteristic should not be mistaken as strictly political. Instead, politics is incorporated as an element of equal value to aesthetics, philosophy, psychOlogy and sociology. In the World Mainstream Having become a part of world literatire, Chicano literature relies on a C autonomousosition. It has at least three cultural currents at its disposal: that which is Mexican (a fusion opaws .an g °- American, and unoffidial local realities. In a sense, it attempts asynthesis of the three, or at 1t an eclectic combination. Above all, this literature has ihe potential of exp. 4 ding the concept of a dynamic,buffer-zone expres-, sion, serving as a docu t of the hardships involved in porary 'mestizdje.

  • Transculturalism in Chicano Literature, Visual Art, and Film Master's
    Transculturalism in Chicano Literature, Visual Art, and Film Master’s Thesis Presented to The Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences Brandeis University Department of Global Studies Jerónimo Arellano, Advisor In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts in Global Studies by Sarah Mabry August 2018 Transculturalism in Chicano Literature, Visual Art, and Film Copyright by Sarah Mabry © 2018 Dedication Here I acknowledge those individuals by name and those remaining anonymous that have encouraged and inspired me on this journey. First, I would like to dedicate this to my great grandfather, Jerome Head, a surgeon, published author, and painter. Although we never had the opportunity to meet on this earth, you passed along your works of literature and art. Gleaned from your manuscript entitled A Search for Solomon, ¨As is so often the way with quests, whether they be for fish or buried cities or mountain peaks or even for money or any other goal that one sets himself in life, the rewards are usually incidental to the journeying rather than in the end itself…I have come to enjoy the journeying.” I consider this project as a quest of discovery, rediscovery, and delightful unexpected turns. I would like mention one of Jerome’s six sons, my grandfather, Charles Rollin Head, a farmer by trade and an intellectual at heart. I remember your Chevy pickup truck filled with farm supplies rattling under the backseat and a tape cassette playing Mozart’s piano sonata No. 16. This old vehicle metaphorically carried a hard work ethic together with an artistic sensibility.

  • 'Re-Borderisation' in the South-Western Novels of Ana Castillo and Cormac Mccarthy
    Revista de Estudios Norteamericanos, nº 12 (2007), pp. 21-37 ‘RE-BORDERISATION’ IN THE SOUTH-WESTERN NOVELS OF ANA CASTILLO AND CORMAC MCCARTHY. PETER CARR Swansea University, UK Two novels of the US/Mexican borderlands published in the early 1990s achieved notable mainstream success and critical acclaim –So Far From God by Ana Castillo (first published in 1993) and All The Pretty Horses by Cormac McCarthy (first published 1992). Here were two ostensibly very different South-Western novels which nevertheless managed to achieve a singular effect: in each case it was this novel that thrust an established, but limited-appeal, writer out of the gloom of academic readership and into the glare of mainstream literary celebrity. These texts, then, are crossover novels in two senses. They are of the margins in the sense that as novels of the borderlands they each deal with the interface of Mexican and Anglo cultures but they are also of the centre in that their multicultural narratives have been embraced by the mainstream. This paper argues two main points. The first is that the mainstream consumer-appeal of these novels –their successful commodification of multicultural images– actually relies upon the subtle repetition of myths of the borderlands in ways that that reinforce ethnic and cultural stereotypes. The second argument is that this process in the novels is part of a general mainstream ‘reborderization’ in the US in the early-to mid-1990s: a reactionary response to the perceived erosion of traditional concepts of national identity in an era dominated by post-modern trans- boundary forces exemplified by initiatives such as the North American Free Trade Agreement.

  • Declaration of Chicano Self-Determination San Diego County, Ca
    Declaration of Chicano Self-Determination San Diego County, Ca. When it becomes self-evident over a long period of time that certain specific individuals, groups, or organizations become detrimental to the progress and prin- ciples of our people and to our movement, then it becomes not only our responsibility but our duty to publicly confront and denounce the perpetrators who have committed these acts against the best interest and welfare of our community. We the undersigned of this declaration which comprise the major Chicano organ- izations of San Diego County hereby declare to our communities and our people that: (1) We accuse the. Socialist Workers Party (SWP) and the Young Socialist Alliance (YSA) of violating the Chicano Community's sacred principle of "self determination" by: (a) Disrespecting the political positions of Chicano Community Organizations. (b) Cal- ling Chicano individuals and organizations to a community meeting under false pretense. (c) Using Chicano individuals and organizational names under false pretense and with- out their permission. (2) We accuse the SWP of attempting to undermine the confidence of the Chicano Community to further their own aims at the expense of our people by the above acts. (3) We accuse the SWP of using devisive actions designed to attempt to discredit and subvert the local Chicano leadership of San Diego County by labeling them violent, reactionary, and revisionist.' (4) We accuse the SWP of continually ignoring the request of the Chicano Community through the organizations to cease in their attempts at manipulation and co-optation of issues which effect our communities. (5) We accuse the SWP of acting in a patronizing, opportunistic manner, and with a colonialist mentality which presumes that the Chicano Community is incompetent and incapable of determining its' own destiny.

While at the heart of this trend lies the desire for Chicana creativity to escape marginalization, this movement dismisses rather than confronts problems within dominant U.S. culture. But it appears that, as contemporary Chicana literature becomes increasingly accepted by and published within mainstream U.S.
