UCLA Chicano Studies Research Center Press
Founded in 1969, the UCLA Chicano Studies Research Center Press was partly responsible for the founding and flowering of Chicano studies in the 1970s—-launching the careers of young academics who could not find mainstream publishers.
For over three decades, the press, a vibrant small publisher, has remained at the forefront of the field of Latino studies and its books have regularly garnered international attention for breaking new ground.
The press was reorganized in 1996 under the leadership of Chon A. Noriega and Wendy Belcher. Since then, the press has continued to publish a journal and books, as well as launching the Latino Policy & Issues Brief, the CSRC Research Report, and the CSRC monthly electronic newsletter. More recently, the A Ver Latino art series and Chicano Archives series was launched, as well as the Chicano Cinema and Media Arts series of DVDs.
The special collection of materials from the press includes original submissions, production process materials, annual reports, and correspondence. While many of the reviewers' reports are still confidential and cannot be viewed by the public, some of the materials can be viewed.
Previous Names of the Press
Aztlán Publications, Chicano Studies Center, UCLA (1970) Chicano Studies Center-Publications, UCLA (1971-1979) Chicano Studies Research Center Publications, UCLA (1980-1992) UCLA Chicano Studies Research Center Publications (1992-2002) Current full name: UCLA Chicano Studies Research Center Press (2003-)
Books
One of the center's first books was by the famous Chicano poet Alurista. The influential historian Rodolfo F. Acuña published his widely regarded history of East Los Angeles with the press. The prolific public health expert David Hayes-Bautista published his seminal No Longer a Minority, coining a phrase for the watershed changes occurring in California. Antonio Ríos-Bustamante published his ever-popular An Illustrated History of Mexican Los Angeles, 1781-1985. Magdalena Mora, Adelaida R. Del Castillo, Rosaura Sánchez, and Rosa Martínez were among the early Chicana scholars who published with the press. Recently the press published the first Zapotec-English dictionary in the world and the center's compilation of thirty years of the best articles in Chicano studies has been breaking sales records. Original submissions and reviewers' comments for many of the center's published books are archived.
Journal
The mainstay of the press is Aztlán: A Journal of Chicano Studies, one of the first academic journals to focus on Chicanos and to this day the premier journal in the field. Established in 1970, Aztlán publishes high-quality, original research relevant to or informed by the Chicano experience. The interdisciplinary, refereed journal is published semi-annually in 250-300 page issues. While the journal has a focus on scholarly essays in the humanities, social sciences, and arts, it also publishes thematic clusters of shorter articles in its dossier section, an artist's communiqué, and a review section. Aztlán seeks ways to bring Chicano studies into critical dialogue with Latino, ethnic, American, and global studies. Many of the artists and scholars who first published their work with the press have gone on to be renowned academics. Almost all the original submissions to the journal (whether accepted or rejected) are archived, along with the reviewers' reports and production process correspondence.
