“Aztlán … signals the vibrancy of Chicano Studies."

“This esteemed journal of record is essential for virtually

— Library Journal

Aztlán presents original research that is relevant to or informed by the Chicano experience. An interdisciplinary, refereed journal, Aztlán focuses on scholarly essays in the humanities, social sciences, and arts, supplemented by thematic pieces in the dosier section, an artist’s communiqué, a review section, and a commentary by the editor, Chon A. Noriega. Aztlán seeks ways to bring Chicano studies into critical dialogue with Latino, ethnic, American, and global studies.

Aztlán has been the leading journal in the field of Chicano studies since 1970. Aztlán is issued twice a year.

Current Issue

The new issue of Aztlán includes essays that explore Chicana/o identity in relation to gender and sexuality in art and literature and that examine the Chicana/o experience through the lens of ethnography and sociology. The dossier section features articles on influential Chicano artists Ricardo Valverde and Guillermo Gómez-Peña. The editor's commentary offers an assessment of Robert M. Young’s film The Ballad of Gregorio Cortez. In the artist’s communiqué, Lalo Alcaraz explains how Viva Obama!—which is featured on the cover—came to be created.
