Chicana Lesbians: The Girls Our Mothers Warned Us about
Literary Nonfiction. LGBT Studies. "CHICANA LESBIANS is a love poem, a bible, a dictionary, nothing so simple as a manifesto--this book is yet another reason to believe--to believe in the girls our mothers warned us about, brown girls, lesbians, making their own love poems, bibles, dictionaries, manifestoes, reasons to believe."--Dorothy Allison
"When I was selling books at a Chicana conference, I noticed book buyers were literally afraid to touch this anthology. I say now what I said then, 'Don't be scared. Sexuality is not contagious, but ignorance is.' If you've ever been curious, been there, been voyeur, been tourist, or just plain under-informed, misinformed, or unaffirmed, here is a book to listen to and learn from".--Sandra Cisneros

Excellent. A Classsic Chicana text. Exhileratly Powerful
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
A famous first for Chicanas, a bold continuation of the subject after "Companeras: Latina Lesbians." Poetry, Art, letters, an interview with Ana Castillo, crtical theory and validation. Alcala's ending piece is an excellent summary. "I think of other Chicana lesbians as family..." Still the best comprehensive text on the subject 7 years after its publishing. An absolute must read for anyone interested in the subject "because many of us have a cousin, a sister etc.."-Trujillo
