Global Mexican cultural productions
\"This co-edited volume is the first book to incorporate a transdisciplinary approach that examines transnational Mexican cultural productions through a variety of analytical perspectives. The authors propose a multilayered reading of contemporary transnational cultural manifestations in which it is possible to recognize challenges and cultural strategies that transnational Mexican communities conceive in order to claim cultural, political and social agency. The essays, interviews, and poetry included in this volume elaborate on the creation of new forms of citizenship that reshape the long history of exclusion that has marked the experience of these particular groups not only in the United States but also in what is geo-politically defined as Mexico\"-- Provided by publisher.

Writing that Matters
Have you ever wanted a writing and research manual that centered
Chicanx and Latinx scholarship? Writing that Matters does
just that. While it includes a brief history of the roots of the
fields of Chicanx literature and history, Writing that Matters
emphasizes practice: how to research and write a Chicanx or Latinx
history paper; how to research and write a Chicanx or Latinx
literature or cultural studies essay; and how to conduct
interviews, frame pláticas, and conduct oral histories. It also
includes a brief chapter on nomenclature and a grammar guide. Each
chapter includes questions for discussion, and all examples from
across the subfields are from noted Chicanx and Latinx scholars.
Women's and queer scholarship and methods are not addressed in a
separate chapter but are instead integral to the work. For years
Professors Heidenreich and Urquijo-Ruiz waited for a writing and
research manual that was rooted in critical Chicanx and Latinx
studies. Now, they have crafted one.

ALICIA SOTERO VÁSQUEZ: Police Brutality against an Undocumented Mexican Woman
This article focuses on police brutality and human rights violations in the United States. The author examines the infamous Riverside Sheriff's brutal beating of an undocumented Mexican woman—which was captured and broadcast live via television—as exemplary of a particular historical relationship between Mexican labor, the U.S. nation-state, and the material conditions of immigrant laborers. Tracing this relationship through a historical survey of Mexican immigration from the turn of the twentieth century and placing the analysis in the context of Critical Race Theory, the article foregrounds the intersection of race, class, and gender. While the author focuses on the Riverside Sheriff's beating and apprehension of Alicia Sotero Vásquez, she also suggests the larger issue of gender on the border and the violence being perpetrated upon women who are seen as disposable under transnational capitalism.

How I Learned to Love Grammar and Forgive My Ninth-Grade English Teacher
In this short chapter we provide explanations, with examples, of key tools for clear writing. For many of us, our exposure to I grammatical rules was dry or confusing. Yet when we turn to texts by some of our favorite Chicanx and Latinx authors, we can see that one of the things that makes their work so powerful, and their arguments so convincing, is the strong grammatical structure they use. Below you will find information we have found helpful to share with undergraduates over the years. At the close of the chapter, we include a page of “Chicanx/Latinx Power Writing
