Year: 2006
Type: dissertation
Abstract: Race of Angels: Xicanisma, Postcolonial Passions, and Rhetorics of Reaction and Revolution," is an interdisciplinary examination of the sociocultural space and material place of Chicanas and Chicanos in the US contextualized within the political economy of globalization and race.As the title suggests, I take up the topics of literacy and language as sites of contestation, the contemporary contours of English and Cultural Studies, the problematic of postcolonial thinking in a neocolonial context, and the dialectically related rhetorical and ideological dimensions of these issues.In short, I am moving toward the articulation of a Xicanista theory of rhetoric.
