Towards a New Chicana/o History: by José Cuello Occasional Paper No. 52
It has become apparent to many scholars of Chicana/o History that the
explosive growth and diversification in research and interpretation now
requires the community to pause and evaluate where the field has been, and
where it might go in the future.1 Thus, the conference "Towards a New
Chicana/o History," held at Michigan State University, April 22-23,
1996, was organized at a timely juncture, and at a particularly exciting
moment in terms of observing Chicana/o History. As a relatively new field
- established less than two generations ago - Chicana/o History constitutes
a living laboratory dedicated to the formation of a new academic discipline,
born out of a social and political movement with which it remains closely
intertwined. For historians who are interested in the writing of history
and the forces which affect it - that which we call historiography - the
evolution of Chicana/o History offers the opportunity to observe in the
making a process of intellectualization that historiographers traditionally
have had to extract from documents after the fact, after the writers of
a particular history are dead." Hardcopy Price: $0.00
