This book, I believe, is a major reading of a major Chicana intellectual. More than that, it is a sweeping reassessment of Chicano/a theater and of Moraga's reclamation of the Chicano/a movement, a model of literary and cultural historicism, and a searching and engaging exploration of the major critical issues in current Chicano/a discourse. oJose David Saldivar, author of Border Matters: Remapping American Cultural Studies Yvonne Yarbro-Bejarano has written the best feminist study to date of Moraga's art in its richest aesthetic, cultural, and political implications.
