Juan Gomez-Quinones, "The Ballad of Billy Rivera" --Notes --References --IndexMexican Ballads, Chicano Poems combines literary theory with the personal engagement of a prominent Chicano scholar. Recalling his experiences as a student in Texas, José Limón examines the politically motivated Chicano poetry of the 60s and 70s. He bases his analyses on Harold Bloom's theories of literary influence but takes Bloom into the socio-political realm. Limón shows how Chicano poetry is nourished by the oral tradition of the Mexican corrido, or master ballad, which was a vital part of artistic and political life along the Mexican-U.S. border from 1890 to 1930.Limón's use of Bloom, as well as of Marxist critics Raymond Williams and Fredric Jameson, brings Chicano literature into the arena of contemporary literary theory. By focusing on an important but little-studied poetic tradition, his book challenges our ideas of the American canon and extends the reach of Hispanists and folklorists as well.New historicism ;17.Social problems in literatureMexican Americans in literatureAmerican poetryMexican influencesMexican AmericansIntellectual lifeBallads, SpanishMexicoAppreciationUnited StatesAmerican poetryMexican American authorsHistory and criticism1960s.1970s.american literature.american poetry.art.artistic influences.ballad poetry.ballads.chicano poetry.chicano.corrido.folklore.harold bloom.life story.literary analysis.literary criticism.literary influences.literary theory.literature.marxism.marxist.mexican border.mexico.oral tradition.poetics.poetry in spanish.poetry.political.politics.raymond williams.social studies.spanish poetry.true story.western poetry.western world.Social problems in literature.Mexican Americans in literature.American poetryMexican influences.Mexican AmericansIntellectual life.Ballads, SpanishAppreciationAmerican poetryMexican American authorsHistory and criticism.811.009/86872Limón José E.authttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1154577DE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK9910495877603321Mexican Ballads, Chicano Poems2867261UNINA
