What is Tolerating ambiguity : ethnicity and community in Chicano/a writing about?

Although Recent Criticism, Focused On Issues Of Resistance And Border Writing, Holds That Chicano/a Representations Of Self And Community Unsettle And Transform Hegemonic Ideology, It Has Not Fully Explained That Deconstructive Potential. Tolerating Ambiguity Argues That The Symbolic Force Of Chicano/a Writing Is An Attribute Of Ethnic Writing Which, As A Symptom Or Reminder Of The Repressed Ethnicity Of The National Consciousness, Disturbs The Latter. Drawing On Different Genres, This Study Analyzes How Chicano/a Writing, Symptomatic Of A Repressed Prenational Identity, Resists The Binary Symbolic Order Of The National Consciousness To Yield Representations Of Communities Characterized By A Resistance To Closure And Homogeneity And By An Accommodation Of Differences. Ch. 1. Criticism And Minority Discourse. History, The Unconscious And Psychoanalysis. Subjectivity, Community And The Representation Of Ethnicity.
