Explores the how, why, and what of contemporary Chicanx culture, including punk rock,
literary fiction, photography, mass graves, and digital and experimental installation
art.0'Racial Immanence' attempts to unravel a Gordian knot at the center of the study
of race and discourse: it seeks to loosen the constraints that the politics of racial
representation put on interpretive methods and on our understanding of race itself.
Marissa K. López argues that reading Chicanx literary and cultural texts primarily
for the ways they represent Chicanxness only reinscribes the very racial logic that
such texts ostensibly set out to undo. 'Racial Immanence' proposes to read differently;
instead of focusing on representation, it asks what Chicanx texts do, what they produce
in the world, and specifically how they produce access to the ineffable but material
experience of race. Intrigued by the attention to disease, disability, abjection,
and sense experience that she sees increasing in Chicanx visual, literary, and performing
arts in the late-twentieth century, López explores how and why artists use the body
in contemporary Chicanx cultural production. 'Racial Immanence' takes up works by
writers like Dagoberto Gilb, Cecile Pineda, and Gil Cuadros, the photographers Ken
Gonzales Day and Stefan Ruiz, and the band Piñata Protest to argue that the body offers
a unique site for pushing back against identity politics. In so doing, the book challenges
theoretical conversations around affect and the post-human and asks what it means
to truly consider people of color as writers and artists. Moving beyond abjection,
López models Chicanx cultural production as a way of fostering networks of connection
that deepen our attachments to the material world
