She writes grounded in her insights and experience as a cast member in the play and, centrally, to bear witness to the trauma of her third-year review at Private Liberal Arts College. The traditional abstract included here is merely a content teaser and, we hope, reads ironically against the innovative critical work that follows. If you wish to read more about the process by which this author undertook writing this essay, as well as the critical stakes of its production, please see the introduction to the volume as well as the accompanying anti-abstract at the close of the chapter.

He rose to prominence as a popular-music icon as the lead singer for the Manchester band The Smiths (1982–1987). After the breakup of The Smiths, Morrissey launched his solo career in 1988. In his fourth decade as a popular singer, Morrissey continues to tour the world and sell out shows in venues throughout Europe and the United Kingdom, Asia and Australia, and across North and South America. Although Morrissey enjoys a fiercely loyal global fan base and inspires fans all over the world, his largest and most creatively expressive fans, arguably, are Latinas/os in the United States and Latin America. He is especially popular in Mexico and with Chicanas/os from Los Angeles, California, to San Antonio, Texas. How does a white singer and pop icon from England become an important cultural figure for Latinas/os? This entry provides an overview of Morrissey’s musical and cultural importance to fans in the United States–Mexico ...

In posing these questions, I foreground the aspects of Chicana/o identities that are most influenced by 'school,' as well as other formal and informal educational experiences and pedagogical relationships. I turn to representations, narratives, and histories of schooling as represented in an array of Chicana/o cultural texts that, when taken together, help us to identify and articulate how Chicana/o subjectivity formations emerge in educational spaces and pedagogical relationships. I began to look for answers to these questions in my own backyard. I began this project in earnest in early 2008, the year that marks the fortieth anniversary of the 1968 East Los Angeles high school walkouts. 2 Living in East L.A., less than three blocks away from my childhood family home, put me in the center of many community and statewide commemorations, celebrations, conferences, and other organized acts of public remembering-held at East Los Angeles College, Hazard Park, and other East L.A. landmarks and spaces associated with the walkouts-that took place beginning in March of 2008 and continued throughout the year. I watched Walkout, the Edward James Olmos docudrama about the 1968 Blowouts, and I attended conferences and other events featuring many of the student activists and their renowned teacher-mentor, Sal Castro. These 40 th anniversary events were well-attended by current high school students and former 1968 student activists from Lincoln, Garfield, Roosevelt, Belmont, and Wilson High Schools, as well as area Chicana/o-Latina/o and Ethnic Studies faculty, community performances, and films in the chapters that follow, I will be specific and make distinctions when necessary or appropriate. 2 The 1968 East L.A. Blowouts were not the first of such student boycotts-"blowouts" were recorded as early as 1910 in Texas (Valencia 43), but they were the largest according to most historians of Chicana/o social movements.
