I really appreciated the historical, sociological, anthropological, and literary criticism that is listed. This is just a suggestion, but I noticed alot of the Chicano literary cannon is missing from this list. Works like Tomas Rivera’s “…Y no se le tragó la tierra…And the Earth did not Devour Him;” Arturo Islas’ “The Rain God;” Oscar Zeta Acosta’s two part series “Autobiography of a Brown Buffalo” and “Revolt of the Cockroach People;” classics from Americo Paredes (there are many but “George Washington Gomez” is one); Ronaldo Hinajosa’s works; and for more contemporary work that is sure to be cannonized is John Philip Santos’ “The Places left Unfinished at the Time of Creation;” and Salvador Plascencia’s “The People of Paper.” I wasnt sure if the anthologies cited were supposed to encapsulate most of these authors and works in an effort to save space, so just in case.
Thought I’d recommend some books to your list:
All 3 of the following books are by Luis Alberto Urrea
The Devil’s Highway
Across the Wire
By the Lake of Sleeping Children
Mexican Enough by Stephanie Elizondo Griest
