"A well-theorized and provocative study that offers a much needed sustained focus on the impact of class through reification on Chicano identity . . . and] a valuable contribution to ongoing debates about critical paradigms in Chicana/o studies, especially in the scholarship about power and limitations of the narrative form."---Louis Mendoza, University of Minnesota"A first-rate book that will be widely read by scholars, teachers, and students interested in seeing how a Marxist goes beyond 'intersectionality' theory in his articulation of the multiple connections among politics, history, class, ethnicity/race, and identity."---Barbara Foley, Rutgers UniversityThe field of Mexican American fiction has exploded since the 1990s, yet there has been relatively little critical assessment of this burgeoning area in American literature. "Chicano Novels and the Politics of Form" is a provocative and timely study of literary form that focuses on the fiction of four writers whose work spans a century: Maria Amparo Ruiz de Burton, Oscar Zeta Acosta, Danny Santiago, and Cecile Pineda.Drawing on the Marxist concepts of reification to examine the connections between social history and narrative, Marcial Gonzalez highlights the relationship between race and class in these works and situates them as historical responses to Mexican American racial, political, and social movements since the late nineteenth century.The book sheds light on the relationship between politics and form in the novel, an issue that has long intrigued literary scholars. This timely and original study will appeal to scholars and students of American literature, ethnic studies, Latino studies, critical race theory, and Marxist literary theory.
