Highlighting the innovative and pathbreaking methodologies developed within the field of Chicana feminisms - such as testimonio, conocimiento, and autohistoria - this book offers an accessible introduction to Chicana theory, methodology, art, and activism. Hurtado also looks at the newest developments in the field and the future of Chicana feminisms.The book includes short biographies of key Chicana feminists, additional suggested readings, and exercises with each chapter to extend opportunities for engagement in classroom and workshop settings.
