Struggles over space and resistance to geographic displacement gave birth to much of Chicano history and culture. In this pathfinding book, Ral Villa explores how California Chicano/a activists, journalists, writers, artists, and musicians have used expressive culture to oppose the communitydestroying forces of urban renewal programs and massive freeway development and to create and defend a sense of Chicano placeidentity.Villa opens with a historical overview that shows how Chicano communities and culture have grown in response to conflicts over space ever since the United States' annexation of Mexican territory in the 1840s. Then, turning to the work of contemporary members of the Chicano intelligentsia such as Helena Maria Viramontes, Ron Arias, and Lorna Dee Cervantes, Villa demonstrates how their expressive practices reimagine and recreate the dominant urban space as a community enabling place. In doing so, he illuminates the endless interplay in which cultural texts and practices are shaped by and act upon their social and political contexts.
