John Alba Cutler (Ph.D., University of California, Los Angeles) researches and teaches in the fields of Chicana/o and Latina/o and comparative ethnic American literatures. Other interests include American poetry, cultural studies, and inter-American studies. His current book project argues that the concept of assimilation offers a valuable, if controversial, heuristic for Chicana/o literary history, showing how shifting notions of Mexican American acculturation and structural incorporation mark the evolution of Chicana/o nationalism and gender politics. He has published articles on Chicana/o narratives of the American War in Viet Nam (in American Literature) and the work of Arturo Islas (in Aztlán: A Journal of Chicano Studies).
