Lawrence's The plumed serpent -- The Mesoamerican in the Mexican-American imagination: Chicano movement indigenism -- From La Malinche to Coatlicue: Chicana indigenist feminism and mythic native women -- The contra-mythic in Chicana literature: refashioning indigeneity in Acosta, Cervantes, Gaspar de Alba, and Villanueva. 330 $aBlood Lines: Myth, Indigenism, and Chicana/o Literature examines a broad array of texts that have contributed to the formation of an indigenous strand of Chicano cultural politics. In particular, this book exposes the ethnographic and poetic discourses that shaped the aesthetics and stylistics of Chicano nationalism and Chicana feminism. Contreras offers original perspectives on writers ranging from Alurista and Gloria Anzaldúa to Lorna Dee Cervantes and Alma Luz Villanueva, effectively marking the invocation of a Chicano indigeneity whose foundations and formulations can be linked to U.S. and British modernist writing. By highlighting intertextualities such as those between Anzaldúa and D. H. Lawrence, Contreras critiques the resilience of primitivism in the Mexican borderlands. She questions established cultural perspectives on "the native," which paradoxically challenge and reaffirm racialized representations of Indians in the Americas. In doing so, Blood Lines brings a new understanding to the contradictory and richly textured literary relationship that links the projects of European modernism and Anglo-American authors, on the one hand, and the imaginary of the post-revolutionary Mexican state and Chicano/a writers, on the other hand. 410 0$aChicana matters series. 606 $aAmerican literature$xMexican American authors$xHistory and criticism 606 $aLiterature and myth 606 $aMexican Americans in literature 606 $aIndigenous peoples in literature 606 $aIdentity (Psychology) in literature 606 $aEthnology$xMethodology 615 0$aAmerican literature$xMexican American authors$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aLiterature and myth. 615 0$aMexican Americans in literature. 615 0$aIndigenous peoples in literature. 615 0$aIdentity (Psychology) in literature. 615 0$aEthnology$xMethodology. 676 $a810.9/37 700 $aContreras$b Sheila Marie$01539551 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910782874203321 996 $aBlood lines$93790496 997 $aUNINA
