With insight, precision, and dedication, María Cotera offers a stunning analysis of the development of Chicana feminist knowledge production and praxis. Her work will transform the way we think about Chicana and Chicano studies and enliven the way we understand and relate to historical practice. A must-read.--Elena R. Gutiérrez, University of Illinois, Chicago, coeditor of Chicago Latina Trailblazers: Testimonios of Political Activism Fleshing the Archive is for anyone who craves genuine ways of doing things differently in higher education and the museum and library worlds. It is a comprehensive roadmap for ethical archive formation and knowledge production in which Chicana feminists, including queer and lesbian feminists, have been leaders since the late 1960s. Cotera documents when and how Chicana feminists preceded the digital turn of the late twentieth century as well as their fundamental goal of connecting liberation and the redistribution of power to knowledge production and access.--Karen Mary Davalos, University of Minnesota, coeditor of Self Help Graphics at Fifty: A Cornerstone of Latinx Art and Collaborative Artmaking
