Las Obreras: Chicana Politics of Work and Family (Aztlan : a Journal of Chicano Studies, Volume 20, Numbers One and Two)

The fifteen essays collected here make up the revised edition of the best-selling volume 20 of Aztlán: A Journal of Chicano Studies, a volume that has continued to be in strong demand in classrooms after almost a decade. With a revised introduction and four new essays, this book is at once a proven resource and a new guide toward an interdisciplinary understanding of the memory, voice, and lived experiences of Chicanas in the family and the workplace. By listening carefully to these voices, the leading Chicana scholars in this volume both engage a complex dynamics of power, public space, and social change and help redefine Chicana and Chicano studies as we enter the twenty-first century.
