(Reflections - Literatures in English outside Britain and the USA, Vol. 15)

The present collection of essays on Chicana/o literatures and cultures traces the possibilities and limitations of various forms of mobility. It explores causes and effects of transgressing national, social and linguistic borders, disciplinary and aesthetic frames as well as confining modes of ethnic identity scripts. Participating in the ongoing dialogue between Literary and Cultural Studies, "Mobile Crossings" explores contemporary Chicana/o literature, visual art, theater, popular culture and transnational theory.
