- Description
- This book explores a wide range of plays, novels, and short stories by Chicana/o authors that depict lesbian characters or lesbian desire. Catrióna Rueda Esquibel starts from the premise that Chicana/o communities, theories, and feminisms cannot be fully understood without taking account of the perspectives and experiences of Chicana lesbians. To open up these perspectives, she engages in close readings of works centered around the following themes: La Llorona, the Aztec Princess, Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz, girlhood friendships, rural communities and history, and Chicana activism. Her investigation broadens the community of Chicana lesbian writers well beyond Moraga and Anzaldúa, while it also demonstrates that the histories of Chicana lesbians have had to be written in works of fiction because these women have been marginalized and excluded in canonical writings on Chicano life and experience.

- In this sociological analysis of grassroots activism, Milagros Peña compares women's NGOs in the state of Mochoacán, in central Mexico and the border region encompassing El Paso, Texas, and Ciudad Juárez, Mexico. She drawes on interviews with the leaders of women's NGOs. Concerns of the organized women include domestic violence, the growing number of single women who are heads of households, and exploitative labor conditions. Peña also examines the influence of the Roman Catholic Church and liberation theology on Latina activism and describes how activist affiliations increasingly cross ethnic, radical, and class lines.

- Description
- In Voices in the Kitchen, Meredith E. Abarca features the voices of her mother and several other family members and friends, seated at their kitchen tables, to share the grassroots world view of these working-class Mexican and Mexican American women. In the kitchen, Abarca demonstrates, women assert their own sazón (seasoning), not only in their cooking but also in their lives. Through a series of oral histories, or charlas culinarias (culinary chats), the women interviewed address issues of space, sensual knowledge, artistic and narrative expression, and cultural and social change.

- Description
- American writer, cultural activist and Latina feminist Cherríe Moraga (1952) tells the life story of her mother Elvira Moraga (1913), from a young girl cotton picking in California, a cigarette girl in Mexico, her relationship with a white man to an old woman suffering Alzheimer's disease. Alongside her mother's story she traces her own discovery of her queer body and lesbian identity, and examines her mixed blood, her passion for activism and the history of her community. In the meantime she tells the larger story of the Mexican American diaspora: what it means to be Mexican in the United States, the nearly forgotten diaspora's Indigenous origins and America's cultural loss.

- Description
- Border women rethinks border theory (between Mexico and the USA) by emphasizing women writers whose work - in Spanish, English, or a mixture of the two languages - calls into question accepted notions of border identities. These writers include those who are recognized internationally (Helena Maria Viramontes, Sheila and Sandra Ortiz Taylor, and María Novaro): those who have become part of the Chicano canon (Norma Cantú, Alicia Gaspar de Alba, and Demetria Martínez): and those who are new voices from the Mexican Border (Rosario Sanmiguel, Rosina Conde, and Regina Swain).
