Since colonial times, Chicano/a literature has varied with the authors' assumptions about the class and gender of their audiences, the linguistic choices available for literary communication, the geographic mobility of writers and readers, and the tastes they may have acquired in Mexico or other countries. In this examination of Chicano/a literature, Manuel M. MartnRodrguez analyzes the ways it connects with and is shaped by the interaction with its audiences.Motivated by a Toms Rivera essay from 1971, 'Into the Labyrinth: The Chicano in Literature,' MartnRodrguez began collecting, researching, and examining Chicano/a literature. He soon determined that a work of literature without a reader has no real existence and, specifically, Chicano/a literature has been defined as much by its readers as by its authors.MartnRodrguez begins this writing with an examination of the Chicano movement of the 1960s and 1970s, when the creation of Chicanoowned or controlled publishing enterprises made possible a surge of Chicano/a literature at the national level. He then concentrates on Chicana literature and 'engendering' the reader and on linguistic and marketing strategies for a multicultural readership. Finally, MartnRodrguez provides a very thorough list of Chicano/a literature which he studied and he recommends for the reader to consider.
