""Irizarry's . . . delineation of four main types of narrative, along a roughly chronological timeline--loss, reclamation, fracture, and new memory--provides a critical tool for approaching the variety of themes and forms that Latino/a literature can take.""--Marta Caminero-Santangelo, author of On Latinidad: U.S. Latino Literature and the Construction of Ethnicity ""A solid piece of scholarship that promises a generative contribution. Promises to add to the critical conversation around Latina/o literature in the years to come.""--David J. Vázquez, author of Triangulations: Narrative Strategies for Navigating Latino Identity ""Chicana/o and Latina/o Fiction offers an innovative reading of intraethnic dialogues on Latinidad by focusing on trends of emplotment: narratives of loss, reclamation, fracture, and new memory. Irizarry's comparative methodology carefully contextualizes pan-Latino literary production through an impressive range of primary and secondary texts.""--Elena Machado Sáez, Market Aesthetics: The Purchase of the Past in Caribbean Diasporic Fiction ""Through her provocative pairings of Chicana/o and Latina/o novels and her extensive scholarship, Ylce Irizarry tells an important new story about the writing of Latinidad. The author's insightful exploration of recurring narratives in these works brings a cutting-edge approach to comparative Latina/o literary studies.""--Karen Christian, author of Show and Tell: Identity as Performance in U.S. Latina/o Fiction
