Modernity and Historical Desire: Differential Time Consciousness in Caballero Afterword: The Discontinuous Inheritance of Mexican American Literature Notes References IndexReviewsA valuable, nuanced postwestern perspective on Spanish/Mexican/Anglo settler colonialisms and conceptions of time, history, and citizenship. Meticulously researched and elegantly constructed, this text will be useful for scholars and students interested in transnational American literature, cultural geography of the West, and feminist studies. -Guadalupe Escobar, Western American Literature This is an intellectually rigorous and meticulously researched study of the Chicanx/Latinx/Mexican/American literary tradition. -A. I. Estrada, Choice We may someday discover that the conventional vocabularies that have attended studies of identity, ethnicity, history, memory, and time itself may need to be rethought. Murrah-Mandril's In the Mean Time illuminates the beginning of such a path. -Javier Rodriguez, American Literary History Lucid and compelling. . . . Murrah-Mandril's work will become essential reading for scholars and students of Chicanx and Latinx literature. -John Alba Cutler, author of Ends of Assimilation: The Formation of Chicano Literature If it is at all possible to be prescient about the future by way of the past, Murrah-Mandril has written such a book . . . in a series of original, provocative, and generative readings of early Mexican American writers and texts. In the Mean Time should be read for its timely intervention in what it meant in the past, what it means in the present, and what it might mean in the future to be of Mexican descent in the United States. -Jose F. Aranda, author of When We Arrive: A New Literary History of Mexican America In the Mean Time expertly provides fresh and adroit readings of long ignored and often vilified authors and makes the case for their sophisticated engagements with time at the level of both form and theme. In a really beautiful way, Murrah-Mandril encourages a dialogue between past authors and present scholars on the subject of forging new paradigms for studying recovered Chicanx literature. -Belinda Linn Rincon, author of Bodies at War: Genealogies of Militarism in Chicana Literature and Culture Author InformationErin Murrah-Mandril is an associate professor of English and a core faculty member for the Center for Mexican American Studies at the University of Texas at Arlington.
