1971213071971. Single volume anthology paperback. New York: New American Library 1971. First edition. A groundbreaking anthology exploring the evolution of Chicano identity in American literature The Chicano: From Caricature to Self-Portrait brings together short stories by an eclectic mix of Anglo and Chicano writers charting a literary journey from stereotypes to self-actualization. Edited and introduced by Edward Simmen this collection highlights the "pain and promise of the Mexican-American experience" offering invaluable insight into how Mexican-Americans or Chicanos asserted their cultural identity and grappled with the forces of assimilation discrimination and pride.<br /> <br /> Contributors include renowned Anglo writers such as John Steinbeck Jack London and Ray Bradbury whose works reflect shifting attitudes toward Mexican-American characters as well as Chicano authors like Nick C. Vaca Philip D. Ortega and Genaro González who assert a vibrant and authentic voice in literature. Notably this volume represents the first collection of its kind marking an essential step in the representation and understanding of Mexican-American life within a broader literary and social context. The back cover emphasizes the significance of the term "Chicano" reclaimed as a badge of pride by the Mexican-American community in their struggle for cultural affirmation during the civil rights era. With stories ranging from 19th-century sentimental stereotypes to the unflinching self-portraits of contemporary Chicano authors the anthology underscores the trajectory of a people moving from marginalization to self-determination. This copy is in very good condition with light wear to the edges and corners of the orange-toned wraps. Spine creasing is visible but does not compromise structural integrity. Pages are lightly toned but unmarked save for a small crease on the upper right of the front cover. Overall a solid copy of a highly influential work in Chicano literature and history. unknown
