Chicana Feminisms (Durham, N.C.: Duke University Press, 2003)
presents a series of essays that draw on anthropology, folklore, history,
literature, and psychology in a dialogue format, with each essay followed
by a response from another scholar.
Each of the five editors is a member of UCSC’s Chicana/Latina Feminisms
Research Cluster, affiliated with the campus Chicano/Latino Research Center
(CLRC). The center is dedicated to cross-border perspectives linking the
Americas. Chicana Feminisms was edited by Gabriela Arredondo, assistant
professor of Latin American and Latina/o studies; Aida Hurtado, professor
of psychology; Norma Klahn, professor of literature; Olga Najera-Ramirez,
professor of anthropology; and Patricia Zavella, professor of Latin American
and Latina/o studies.
Other UCSC contributors include Rosa Linda Fregoso, professor of Latin
American and Latina/Latino studies, who authored an essay titled "Reproduction
and Miscegenation on the Borderlands: Mapping the Maternal Body of Tejanas,"
and Jennifer Gonzalez, assistant professor of history of art and visual
culture.

Essay by music professor Leta Miller included in new five-CD box set
A
lengthy scholarly essay by musicologist, biographer, and professor of
music Leta Miller has been included in a new five-CD box set titled Music
from the ONCE Festival. Released in September by New World Records,
the compilation contains six hours of music from the legendary 1960s avant-garde
festival held annually in Ann Arbor, Michigan.
ONCE was cofounded by UCSC music professor emeritus Gordon Mumma, along
with three music colleagues, to create a forum for the presentation of
cutting-edge new music. Miller’s essay is part of a 140-page booklet
that features numerous rare photographs from the festival.
