From The Edge: Chicana/O Border Literature And The Politics Of Print (Latinidad: Transnational Cultures In The United States) - 9780813583808

From the Edge reveals the tangled textual histories behind some of the most cherished works in the Chicana/o literary canon, tracing the contentious negotiations between authors, editors, and publishers that determined how these books appeared in print. In this groundbreaking examination of the politics of print culture, Allison Fagan demonstrates how the texts surrounding the authors' words--from editorial prefaces to Spanish-language glossaries, from reviewers' blurbs to readers' marginalia--have crucially shaped the reception of Chicana/o literature.
