V. Olguín provides crucial insights into the central roles that incarceration and the incarcerated have played in the evolution of Chicana/o history, cultural paradigms, and oppositional political praxis. This is the first text on prisoners in general, and Chicana/o and Latina/o prisoners in particular, that provides a range of case studies from the nineteenth century to the present. Olguín places multiple approaches in dialogue through the pairing of representational figures in the history of Chicana/o incarceration with specific themes and topics. Case studies on the first nineteenth-century Chicana prisoner in San Quentin State Prison, Modesta Avila; renowned late-twentieth-century Chicano poets Raúl Salinas, Ricardo Sánchez, and Jimmy Santiago Baca; lesser-known Chicana pinta and author Judy Lucero; and infamous Chicano drug baron and social bandit Fred Gómez Carrasco are aligned with themes from popular culture such as prisoner tattoo art and handkerchief art, Hollywood Chicana/o gangxploitation and the prisoner film American Me, and prisoner education projects. Olguín provides a refreshing critical interrogation of Chicana/o subaltern agency, which too often is celebrated as unambiguously resistant and oppositional. As such, this study challenges long-held presumptions about Chicana/o cultures of resistance and proposes important explorations of the complex and contradictory relationship between Chicana/o agency and ideology. 606 $aMexican American prisoners 606 $aMexican American prisoners$xPolitical activity 606 $aPrisoners$xCivil rights$zUnited States 606 $aMexican Americans in popular culture$zUnited States 606 $aPrisoners in popular culture$zUnited States 615 0$aMexican American prisoners. 615 0$aMexican American prisoners$xPolitical activity. 615 0$aPrisoners$xCivil rights 615 0$aMexican Americans in popular culture 615 0$aPrisoners in popular culture 676 $a365/.608968073 700 $aOlgui?n$b B.
