Summary:
"The models of this relatively new Chicano genre are first discussed.
Next come analysis and reviews rendering a particular regional or
cultural variation of what it means to be Chicano. It is this
departure from the norm that defines their writings and distinguishes
them from the Anglo-American and British whodunit"--Provided by
