In the years since then, new generations have asked new questions to cast light on this watershed era. No longer is it productive to consider only the differences between ethnic groups; we must also study them in relation to one another and to U.S. mainstream society. In "Shakin' Up" Race and Gender, Marta E. Sánchez creates an intercultural frame to study the historical and cultural connections among Puerto Ricans, African Americans, and Chicanos/as since the 1960s. Her frame opens up the black/white binary that dominated the 1960s and 1970s. It reveals the hidden yet real ties that connected ethnics of color and "white" ethnics in a shared intercultural history. By using key literary works published during this time, Sánchez reassesses and refutes the unflattering portrayals of ethnics by three leading intellectuals (Octavio Paz, Daniel Patrick Moynihan, and Oscar Lewis) who wrote about Chicanos, African Americans, and Puerto Ricans. She links their implicit misogyny to the trope of La Malinche from Chicano culture and shows how specific characteristics of this trope?enslavement, alleged betrayal, and cultural negotiation?are also present in African American and Puerto Rican cultures. Sánchez employs the trope to restore the agency denied to these groups. Intercultural contact?encounters between peoples of distinct ethnic groups?is the theme of this book. 410 0$aChicana matters series. 517 3 $a"Shaking up" race and gender 606 $aAmerican literature$xMinority authors$xHistory and criticism 606 $aAmerican literature$y20th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aPuerto Ricans$zUnited States$xIntellectual life 606 $aNarration (Rhetoric)$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aAfrican Americans$xIntellectual life 606 $aMexican Americans$xIntellectual life 606 $aAfrican Americans in literature 606 $aMexican Americans in literature 606 $aPuerto Ricans in literature 606 $aEthnic groups in literature 606 $aMinorities in literature 606 $aSex role in literature 606 $aRace in literature 615 0$aAmerican literature$xMinority authors$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aAmerican literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aPuerto Ricans$xIntellectual life. 615 0$aNarration (Rhetoric)$xHistory 615 0$aAfrican Americans$xIntellectual life. 615 0$aMexican Americans$xIntellectual life. 615 0$aAfrican Americans in literature. 615 0$aMexican Americans in literature. 615 0$aPuerto Ricans in literature. 615 0$aEthnic groups in literature. 615 0$aMinorities in literature. 615 0$aSex role in literature. 615 0$aRace in literature. 676 $a810.9/920693/09045 700 $aSanchez$b Marta Ester$00 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910812953203321 996 $a"Shakin' up" race and gender$94090554 997 $aUNINA
