Author Marc Zimmerman tells how talented and determined Mexican writers spread out from their southside ports-of-entry barrios to more diverse and cosmopolitan northside locales, forging a regional ethnic literature as part of a broader cultural and political movement. The story told provides a rich tapestry showing how these writers portrayed Mexican and Latino Chicago in ways which broadened and deepened the Chicano, Latino, minority, and overall literary field. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePart One applies theoretical and historical perspectives to early Chicago Mexican writing. Part Two studies stories portraying Mexican Chicago's steel mill world. Part Three examines the movement north by Mexican poets identifying as Chicano in the 1970s and 80s. Parts Four and Five center on Chicago's most famous writers, Ana Castillo and Sandra Cisneros, who take off toward the wider world. An epilogue surveys the many other writers emerging during and after the Latino explosion and leading to the vital contribution of Chicago Chicano and Mexican writing to Latino and U.S. literature. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eMarc Zimmerman\u003c\/b\u003e has authored and edited over forty books on world, Latin and Central American, Caribbean and U.S. Chicano and Puerto Rican cultures and literatures, Latino. transnational and urban processes, as well as Chicago Mexican life and art.
