Summary: The future of Chicana/o studies
Review: Villa's brilliant analysis of Chicano/a struggles over space and identity in the conquered Southwest shows us how studies of Mexican American culture can retain their political commitment in a post-ethical universe of globalized consumerism and cynical academic celebrities. .His readings of visual and written texts are a fascinating synthesis of aesthetic and historical knowledges. Que viva Barrio-Logos y Que viva nuestra raza de bronce!
