Chicana/o Subjectivity and the Politics of Identity: Between Recognition and Revolution

By Carlos Gallego

Book Overview

This book traces the influence of Hegel's theory of recognition on different literary representations of Chicano/a subjectivity, with the aim of demonstrating how the identity thinking characteristic of Hegel's theory is unwillingly reinforced even in subjects that are represented as rebelling against liberal-humanist ideologies.
