Building on the pioneering work of their predecessors, whose artistic creations were often tied to political activism and the civil rights struggle, today's Chicano/a writers and artists feel free to focus as much on the aesthetic quality of their work as on its social content. They use novels, short stories, poetry, drama, documentary films, and comic books to shape the raw materials of life into art objects that cause us to participate empathetically in an increasingly complex Chicano/a identity and experience. This book presents far-ranging interviews with twenty-one "second wave" Chicano/a poets, fiction writers, dramatists, documentary filmmakers, and playwrights. Some are mainstream, widely recognized creators, while others work from the margins because of their sexual orientations or their controversial positions. Frederick Luis Aldama draws out the artists and authors on both the aesthetic and the sociopolitical concerns that animate their work. Their conversations delve into such areas as how the artists' or writers' life experiences have molded their work, why they choose to work in certain genres and how they have transformed them, what it means to be Chicano/a in today's pluralistic society, and how Chicano/a identity influences and is influenced by contact with ethnic and racial identities from around the world. 606 $aAmerican literature$xMexican American authors$xHistory and criticism$xTheory, etc 606 $aMexican American authors$vInterviews 606 $aMexican American artists$vInterviews 606 $aMexican Americans$xIntellectual life 606 $aMexican Americans in literature 606 $aMexican American art 615 0$aAmerican literature$xMexican American authors$xHistory and criticism$xTheory, etc. 615 0$aMexican American authors 615 0$aMexican American artists 615 0$aMexican Americans$xIntellectual life. 615 0$aMexican Americans in literature. 615 0$aMexican American art. 676 $a810.9/86872 700 $aAldama$b Frederick Luis$f1969-$0855054 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910777510303321 996 $aSpilling the beans in Chicanolandia$93678154 997 $aUNINA
