Mobile Crossings: Representations of Chicana/o Cultures

The present volume focuses on a variety of Chicana/o cultural expressions and productions that have emerged from increasingly mobile subject positions in transnational settings. The collection traces the possibilities and limitations of becoming culturally mobile across national, social and linguistic borders, disciplinary and aesthetic frames as well as beyond confining modes of Chicana/o identity scripts. Informed by the ongoing dialogue between Literary and Cultural Studies, "Mobile Crossings" explores a broad range of cultural phenomena that have both shaped and represented Mexican-American communities throughout the last thirty years in Chicana/o literature, visual art, theater, popular culture and transnational theory.
