This expanded new edition of the classic 1989 collection of essays about Aztlán weighs its value. After close to half a century of elaboration on the concept and cultural forces of Aztlán, with this edition we encounter new sets of thinking, radical perspectives, and most of all, perhaps, we can see ourselves in the universe as never before--turning, repivoting a new poetic mind, a fuller humanity. These authors are brilliant, daring pioneers. Bravo!--Juan Felipe Herrera, United States Poet Laureate , 2015-2016 Rudolfo Anaya is the acclaimed author of Bless Me, Ultima and many other books.
