    Las Vegas, NM: New Mexico Highlands University, Division of Ethnic Studies, 1975. First edition - Includes five of the papers (4 in English, 1 in Spanish) presented at this symposium which was sponsored by the National Education Task Force de la Raza, Albuquerque, NM.; New Mexico Highlands University, Las Vegas, NM; Eric Clearing House on Rural Education, and La Luz Publications. From the overview by David Conde: Over 200 participants from 10 states and 17 universities attended. The papers cover Chicano poetry, novel, drama, and popular folklore humor. "National Character vs Universality in Chicano Poetry" by Sylvia Alicia Gonzales sets forth the notion that national traditions are adaptations of universal styles and national character is or should be but a step toward universality. The new "space" (identity) of Chicano art or literature is related to the definition of the Chicano national character in "The Space of Chicano Literature." by Juan Bruce-Novoa. In "La Prosa Chicano: Tres Epigones de la Novela Mexicana de la Revolucion" by Guillermo Rojas, three novels are reviewed - Tomas Rivera's "Y no se lo trago la tierra", Rolando R. Hinojosa-S. "Estampas del valle y otras obras", and Miguel Mandez-M.'s "Peregrinos de Aztlan." Humor as a tool of artistic expression is the topic of "Chicano Folklore: Raza Humor in Texas." by Jose Reyna. Although the title indicates a Texas context, many of the situations and expressions are part of the national Chicano experience. "Satire: Techniques and Devices in Luis Valdez''Las Dos Caras del Patroncito' by Nasario Garcia traces the exchange of roles between the oppressor and the oppressed.
