Chicano Satire: A Study in Literary Culture (MEXICAN AMERICAN MONOGRAPHS),Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Geographically close to Mexico, but surrounded by AngloAmerican culture in the United States, Chicanos experience many cultural tensions and contradictions. Their lifeways are no longer identical with Mexican norms, nor are they fully assimilated to AngloAmerican patterns. Coping with these tensionsknowing how much to let go of, how much to keepis a common concern of Chicano writers, who frequently use satire as a means of testing norms and deviations from acceptable community standards. In this groundbreaking study, Guillermo Hernndez focuses on the uses of satire in the works of three authorsLuis Valdez, Rolando Hinojosa, and Jos Montoyaand on the larger context of Chicano culture in which satire operates.Hernndez looks specifically at the figures of the pocho (the assimilated Chicano) and the pachuco (the zootsuiter, or urbanized youth). He shows how changes in their literary treatmentfrom simple ridicule to more understanding and respectreflect the culture's changes in attitude toward the process of assimilation.Hernndez also offers many important insights into the process of cultural definition that engaged Chicano writers during the 1960s and 1970s. He shows how the writers imaginatively and syncretically formed new norms for the Chicano experience, based on elements from both Mexican and United States culture but congruent with the historical reality of Chicanos.With its emphasis on culture change and creation, Chicano Satire will be of interest across a range of human sciences.
