John Alba Cutler (Ph.D., University of California, Los Angeles) teaches and writes about US Latino literatures, especially Chicano literature, and modern and contemporary American literature more generally. He is currently working on a book examining representations of assimilation in Chicano literature, arguing not only that assimilation is a principal thematic concern of the vast majority of Chicano literary texts, but that the very forms of those texts inscribe assimilatory processes within them. He is a core faculty member of the Latina and Latino Studies Program in the Weinberg College of Arts and Sciences and for the past three years has co-organized the Newberry Library Seminar in Borderlands and Latino Studies. He has published essays in MELUS (Multi-Ethnic Literature of the United States), American Literature, Western American Literature, and Aztlán: A Journal of Chicano Studies.
