	Claiming Race, Claiming Queerness: Constructing the Queer Family in Cherríe Moraga's Autobiographic Fiction
		A constant in Moraga's analysis is her exploration of the maternal bond, which her first text, Loving in the War Years, simultaneously constructs as the core of the nuclear family, the larger tie to Chicano community, and the place of origin for Moraga's lesbian sexuality.
		Moraga responds to this unvoiced accusation by refusing to relinquish her ties to the culture that would disavow her-she consciously identifies as Chicana lesbian, a fact illustrated by her emphasis on her mother's influence on both her sexuality and ethnicity.
		Moraga instead represents her Anglo identity, in the form of her familial history, as a gap that has sanctioned her uninterrogated disdain for her father and for his legacy as it is written on her body.

	South End Press \| Loving in the War Years
		The original section of Loving paints a vivid portrait of Moraga's coming-of-age as a Chicana and a lesbian at a time when the political merging of those two identities was severely censured.
		The new section is testimony to the complexity of identity politics in the time of the Right, as Leftists of all stripes aimed to harness their hard-won self-knowledge and safe territory in the struggle to build power across their constituencies.
		Maintaining her focus on issues of race, sexuality, ideology, and political power, Moraga's posture is now closer to that of a zen warrior than a street-fighter, but her passionate engagement with life remains as intimate, insightful, and controversial as ever.

	Table of Contents and Excerpt, Yarbro-Bejarano, The Wounded Heart
		With Moraga as creative interlocutor, I have been fortunate to participate in the process of building a field of inquiry, constructing new critical practices by learning from the limitations of earlier ones that neglected the acknowledgment of race or sexuality.
		I couch my analysis of Moraga's strategies of representation within the notion of "the problematic of enunciation" (Mercer, 194) attuned to the politics of location in the utterance.
		In compiling my essays for this collection, I am struck both by the fluidity of Moraga's analysis of difference and by the coherence of her imagery in evoking the contradictory ways in which race, class, gender, and sexuality shape identity.

	The Last Generation : Prose and Poetry (Cherrie Moraga)
		Moraga, who challenged the essential Chicano of the sixties, has dressed up that old bugaboo, the essential subject, in queer cloth and calls it une nouveaute.
		Moraga's Queer Aztlan, with its calls to blood and land, is chillingly reminiscent of mid-twentieth century fascism, a fact that has been overlooked by her historically myopic acolytes.
		At many points polemic, always self-indulgent, Moraga's collection serves as an interesting barometer of the acceptance and mainstreaming of Chicana feminist discourse within the cultural nationalist frame, with a subsequent loss both of rhetorical power and political progressiveness.

		Comment: Moraga's text is a thoughtful meditation on the dialectics of biology and social construction of gender, sexuality, and bodies.
		Moraga's trajectory as a writer is fascinating to explore--I would recommend reading The Last Generation before this book, and then reading the new sections from Loving in the War Years afterward.
		Moraga's Waiting in the Wings is drearily narcissistic, toggling between journal entries and narrative over her newborn's struggle for life as a premature infant.

		The product of a white father and a Mexican mother, playwright Moraga describes herself as a "mongrel" and knows "full well that my mestizaje--my breed blood--is the catalyst of my activism and my art." As a radical lesbian feminist, she is alienated from her cousins with their children and pregnant wives.
		She views the Chicano movement as sexist, stemming from a culture in which rape, incest, battered women and drug abuse are the norm.
		It is much to Moraga's credit that her confessional manifesto largely succeeds.
