In particular, this book exposes the ethnographic and poetic discourses that shaped the aesthetics and stylistics of Chicano nationalism and Chicana feminism. Contreras offers original perspectives on writers ranging from Alurista and Gloria AnzaldÚa to Lorna Dee Cervantes and Alma Luz Villanueva, effectively marking the invocation of a Chicano indigeneity whose foundations and formulations can be linked to U.S. and British modernist writing. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e By highlighting intertextualities such as those between AnzaldÚa and D. H. Lawrence, Contreras critiques the resilience of primitivism in the Mexican borderlands. She questions established cultural perspectives on \"the native,\" which paradoxically challenge and reaffirm racialized representations of Indians in the Americas. In doing so, \u003ci\u003eBlood Lines\u003c\/i\u003e brings a new understanding to the contradictory and richly textured literary relationship that links the projects of European modernism and Anglo-American authors, on the one hand, and the imaginary of the post-revolutionary Mexican state and Chicano\/a writers, on the other hand. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Acknowledgments \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Prelude \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Introduction: Myths, Indigenisms, and Conquests \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Chapter One.
