Arguing that the texts and lived experiences of subordinated people are rich sources of insight about our society, Moya presents a nuanced universalist justification for identity-based work in ethnic studies. This strikingly original book provides eloquent analyses of such postmodernist feminists as Judith Butler, Donna Haraway, Norma Alarcón, and Chela Sandoval, and counters the assimilationist proposals of minority neoconservatives such as Shelby Steele and Richard Rodriguez. It advances realist proposals for multicultural education and offers an understanding of the interpretive power of Chicana feminists including Cherríe Moraga, Gloria Anzaldúa, and Helena María Viramontes. Learning from Experience enlarges our concept of identity and offers new ways to situate aspects of race, gender, class, and sexual orientation in discursive and sociopolitical contexts. 606 $aAmerican literature$xMexican American authors$xHistory and criticism$xTheory, etc 606 $aAmerican literature$xWomen authors$xHistory and criticism$xTheory, etc 606 $aAmerican literature$y20th century$xHistory and criticism$xTheory, etc 606 $aFeminism and literature$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aWomen and literature$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aMexican American women$xIntellectual life 606 $aPostmodernism (Literature)$zUnited States 606 $aMulticulturalism$zUnited States 606 $aFeminist theory$zUnited States 606 $aMexican Americans in literature 606 $aMinorities$zUnited States 615 0$aAmerican literature$xMexican American authors$xHistory and criticism$xTheory, etc. 615 0$aAmerican literature$xWomen authors$xHistory and criticism$xTheory, etc. 615 0$aAmerican literature$xHistory and criticism$xTheory, etc. 615 0$aFeminism and literature$xHistory 615 0$aWomen and literature$xHistory 615 0$aMexican American women$xIntellectual life. 615 0$aPostmodernism (Literature) 615 0$aMulticulturalism 615 0$aFeminist theory 615 0$aMexican Americans in literature. 615 0$aMinorities 676 $a810.9/9287/0896872 700 $aMoya$b Paula M.
