Chicano studies : the genesis of a discipline

Résumé

Chicano studies is a comparatively new academic discipline. Unlike well-established fields of study that long ago codified their canons and curricula, the departments of Chicano studies that exist today on U.S. college and university campuses are less than four decades old. In this edifying and frequently eye-opening book, a career member of the discipline examines its foundations and early years. Based on an extraordinary range of sources and cognizant of infighting and the importance of personalities, Chicano Studies is the first history of the discipline. Part intellectual history, part social criticism, and part personal meditation, this book attempts to make sense of the collision (and occasional wreckage) of politics, culture, scholarship, ideology, and philosophy that created a new academic discipline. A long the way, it identifies a remarkable cast of scholars and administrators who added considerable zest to the drama. - Note de l'éditeur
