The nature of ethnic identity has been a major issue in the Mexican American community for decades. Whereas history has offered frameworks for interpreting generational changes in the understanding of identity, literature has been particularly rich in exploring themes of power and domination, Louis Gerard Mendoza argues in this look at historical and imaginative literatures and their role in forming ethnic identity. Focusing on late twentieth-century literature and history by American writers of Mexican descent, Mendoza examines how style, purpose, and context function to facilitate or constrain the understanding of the past. Mendoza accepts as his starting point the model posited by historian Mario Garcia, then contrasts for each "generation" the nuances and contradictions offered by one or more Chicana/o creative writers. Other historians whose works are centrally considered include Juan Gomez-Quinones, Rodolfo Alvarez, Ricardo Romo, David Montejano, and Carlos Munoz, while the literary writers featured include Jovita Gonzalez, Alejandro Morales, Sara Estela Ramirez, Teresa Paloma Acosta, Oscar Zeta Acosta, and Americo Paredes. Mendoza argues that history is the narrative battle-ground upon which literature is based. However, he contends that most Chicana/o historical narratives are integrated into literary analysis to establish background, resulting in the invocation of the histories as representations of the "real". Libraries, borderlands scholars, and those interested in cultural studies will want this book, which seeks ways to integrate the two genres of history and literature through the new critical analysis.

IMAGINE NOT GOING HOME FOR THIRTY-SIX years. Think of never seeing the house where you grew up, never hearing the sounds of the city streets, never feeling the sea breeze on the beach where you spent all your childhood summers. What would you do if you finally got a chance to go back? When travel restrictions between the United States and Cuba were relaxed in the 1990s, Cuban exile Tony Mendoza answered that question. Taking the tools of his trade -- cameras, notebooks, and an unquenchable curiosity -- he returned in 1996 for a twenty-one-day visit to the country his family left for good in the summer of of 1960, when he was eighteen. From the eighty rolls of film he shot, he here presents over eighty of the most evocative photos accompanied by a beautifully written text that mingles the voices of many Cubans with his own to offer a compelling portrait of a resilient people awaiting the inevitable passing of the socialist system that has failed them. Of the more than 200 Cubans whom Mendoza met -- ranging from highly trained professionals to party workers to self-employed vendors and prostitutes -- he found five who still support the Castro Revolution. His photographs and interviews bear striking witness to the hardships and inequalities that exist in this workers' "paradise", where the daily struggle to make ends meet on an average income of eight dollars a month has created a longing for change even in formerly ardent revolutionaries. At the same time, Cuba -- Going Back is an eloquent record of a personal journey back in time and memory that will resonate with viewers and readers both within and beyond the Cuban American community. It belongs on the shelves of anyone who valuesexcellent photography and well-crafted prose. A graduate of both Yale and Harvard, Tony Mendoza pursued careers in engineering and architecture before settling on photography as art and on a unique style of storytelling that combines photographs and text.
