Kaup (English, U. of Washington, Seattle) offers a study of the manifestations and transformations of the important theme of the border between the US and Mexico in Chicano narrative since
1960. Three topics are discussed in detail: the history of native origins in the borderlands, the (im)migration experience, and the Chicana experience. Theory is presented, along with detailed
readings of many major and some minor Chicana and Chicano writers, including Gloria Anzald·a, Norma Cant·, Ana Castillo, Sandra Cisneros, Rolando Hinojosa, RubTn Mart-nez, and others.
