Insurgent Aztlán The Liberating Power of Cultural Resistance reconstructs the relationship between social political insurgent theory and Xicano literature, film and myth. Based on decades of organizing experience and scholarly review of the writings of recognized observers and leaders of the process of national liberation movements, the author, Ernesto Todd Mireles, shares a remarkable work of scholarship that incorporates not only the essence of earlier resistance writing, but provides a new paradigm of liberation guidelines for the particular situation of Mexican Americans.

"Theorizing Cesar Chavez is an intriguing portrait of Cesar Chavez...Using him as a heroic defender of a more just approach to the STEM curricula is engaging on several levels. He was unquestionably a man of the people, the poor people especially; but he was also riven with contradictions as a labor leader, community organizer, father, jazz aficionado, guru, and (in the minds of some followers) a would-be saint."
Luis Valdez, Founder of El Teatro Campesino |

Postcards from a PostMexican chronicles life in a transcultural world that is emerging in Mexico and the United States, the result of one hundred years of migrations, NAFTA, the Internet, and social media. In this world, identities morph, change, and are reinvented at a dizzying pace. This is the arena of the new actor on the block: the postMexican, who inhabits a transnational space, has moved away from nationalism, and contrasts with the folkloric character that is being slowly relegated to the background in Mexico.

Undesirable – Race and Remembrance is a collection of poems by Robert René Galván tracing family history and wider Indigenous and Mexican American history, revealing the relentless reach of racism.
Born in San Antonio, he now lives in New York City, a noted Chicano poet and multi-talented musician. He is the product of a legacy fashioned by Galván’s antepasados who survived the Great Depression, the WWII years, the decades of discrimination and deprivation–a communal memory that he treasures and preserves in this book.

Chicano Manifesto, the seminal book on Chicanismo and the Chicano Movement, is available in a 50th Anniversary Edition. Armando Rendón, the author, is also the publisher as CEO and Executive Director of the Somos en escrito Literary Foundation Press.
“I never could have envisioned that I’d be around to see a reprint of Manifesto a half century after it first came out but I’m not complaining. My intent is that new generations of Mexican Americans join with the elder Chicanas and Chicanos to face the next 50 years with a plan, with commitment to preserving and enhancing la cultura Chicana.” Available online at:
