Voicing Chicana Feminisms: Young Women Speak Out on Sexuality and Identity by Aída Hurtado

eirenophile's review against another edition

I've got limited time to read, and this just didn't make the cut. Too many of her observations about chicana feminisms are universal claims made without reference. (It would be one thing if she spoke with her own voice, but she suggests she's speaking for many.) It felt like she took what can be radical and fantastic and totally needed in academia and made it an excuse to be lazy.

I didn't get past the first chapter, which is why I moved it to "hiatus" - it's possible I'll pick this up some day again when I've got more free time.
