A marvelous introduction to some of the most luminous and illuminating voices to be found in the Chicano/a and Mexican literary traditions, offering a fascinating and resonant dialogue among them.Rafael PrezTorres, Professor of American Literature and Chicano Studies, UCLAAs the descendants of Mexican immigrants have settled throughout the United States, a great literature has emerged, but its correspondances with the literature of Mexico have gone largely unobserved. In Bordering Fires, the first anthology to combine writing from both sides of the MexicanU.S. border, Cristina Garca presents a richly diverse crosscultural conversation.Beginning with Mexican masters such as Alfonso Reyes and Juan Rulfo, Garca highlights historic voices such as the godfather of Chicano literature Rudolfo Anaya, and Gloria Anzalda, who made a powerful case for language that reflects bicultural experience. From the fierce evocations of Chicano reality in Jimmy Santiago Bacas Poem IX to the breathtaking images of identity in Coral Brachos poem Fish of Fleeting Skin, from the work of Carlos Fuentes to Sandra Cisneros, Ana Castillo to Octavio Paz, this landmark collection of fiction, essays, and poetry offers an exhilarating new vantage point on our continentand on the best of contemporary literature.
