Migrant song
What a frustrating book!
I read the intro, Chapters 2 and 5 (relevant to my project), and I skimmed the conclusion. In her "critical" essays, McKenna quotes, at length, at least 3 other writers per page, sometimes per paragraph, before hazarding an original thought of her own and then smothers that thought with so many qualifiers it becomes nearly meaningless: "...to let words point to the essential issues of communal existence or not[?] When and how, and if, this choice occurs forms the basis for understanding the evolution of Chicano poetry." That's how she *ends* one essay.
I wish McKenna's academic style was more like the personable tone she uses in the intro and conclusion. As it is, I think my time's better spent reading the books McKenna cites. Then there's the added bonus of not having to endure her binary gender assumptions and gender essentialism.
