REVIEW QUOTES

This historic and unique collection of contemporary Chicano fiction features not only established figures such as Sandra Cisneros, Rudolpho Anaya, Denise Chavez and Ana Castillo, but a vanguard of exciting new writers such as Daniel Romero, Patricia Blanco, Ana Baca and others."...a wonderful collection whose strenght is increased by the uniform quality of the stories and the fine writing throughout." --The British Bulletin"Virtually every notable Chicano prose fiction writer is represented in the anthology." --World Literature Today"Thirty-one stories cover territory on both sides of the border, and show Mexican-American writers rooted in the culture on both sides of the hyphen...but the selections also expand predictable horizons...perhaps the best of recent compilations of Chicano (and Latino) fiction." --Kirkus Reviews
