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. 410 0$aNew historicism ;$v17. 606 $aSocial problems in literature 606 $aMexican Americans in literature 606 $aAmerican poetry$xMexican influences 606 $aMexican Americans$xIntellectual life 606 $aBallads, Spanish$zMexico$xAppreciation$zUnited States 606 $aAmerican poetry$xMexican American authors$xHistory and criticism 610 $a1960s. 610 $a1970s. 610 $aamerican literature. 610 $aamerican poetry. 610 $aart. 610 $aartistic influences. 610 $aballad poetry. 610 $aballads. 610 $achicano poetry. 610 $achicano. 610 $acorrido. 610 $afolklore. 610 $aharold bloom. 610 $alife story. 610 $aliterary analysis. 610 $aliterary criticism. 610 $aliterary influences. 610 $aliterary theory. 610 $aliterature. 610 $amarxism. 610 $amarxist. 610 $amexican border. 610 $amexico. 610 $aoral tradition. 610 $apoetics. 610 $apoetry in spanish. 610 $apoetry. 610 $apolitical. 610 $apolitics. 610 $araymond williams. 610 $asocial studies. 610 $aspanish poetry. 610 $atrue story. 610 $awestern poetry. 610 $awestern world. 615 0$aSocial problems in literature. 615 0$aMexican Americans in literature. 615 0$aAmerican poetry$xMexican influences. 615 0$aMexican Americans$xIntellectual life. 615 0$aBallads, Spanish$xAppreciation 615 0$aAmerican poetry$xMexican American authors$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a811.009/86872 700 $aLimón$b José E.$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01154577 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910495877603321 996 $aMexican Ballads, Chicano Poems$92867261 997 $aUNINA
