she also completed a BA summa cum laude in Comparative Literature (1969). She is now a Professor of Iberian and Latin
American Cultures at Stanford University.
Prof.

Heart: Writing on Cherríe Moraga (2001), and co-editor of Chicano Art:

Chicana/o Studies and a variety of undergraduate courses on literature, art,
film/video, theater/performance and everyday cultural practices. Her graduate
seminars include topics such as race and nation; interrogating critical
concepts in Chicana/o literature; and representations of race, sexuality and
gender in cultural production by Chicanas/os and Latinas/os.
Since
1994, Professor Yarbro-Bejarano has been developing “Chicana Art,” a digital
archive of images focusing on women artists. Professor Yarbro-Bejarano is chair
of the Chicana/o Studies Program in Stanford's Center for Comparative Studies
in Race and Ethnicity.
Prof.
Yarbro-Bejarano is featured in the just released book, Rebozos de
Palabras: An Helena María Virmontes Critical Reader (University of
Arizona Press), edited by Gabriella Gutiérrez y Muhs. Her essay is titled, “Phantoms
and Patch Quilt People: Narrative Art and Migrant Collectivity in Helena María
Viramontes’s Under the Feet of Jesus.”
A PERSONAL NOTE:
Today
I turn 54 years old (yes, that photo of me on the masthead is a bit old). I am
a lucky man. I have been in love with my wife for 32 years. Our son, Ben, will
graduate from UCLA this year. I have a day job as a government lawyer where I
work with committed and interesting people. My eighth book will come out later
this year from San Diego State University Press, a collection of essays and
interviews with Latin@ writers tentatively titled, Things We Do Not Talk About. And I get to write about Latin@
writers, scholars and artists while spending virtual time with my La Bloga friends. I never fail to be
enlightened whenever I read the posts by my fellow blogueras/os in this little corner of the Internet. You all make me so proud.
Mil
gracias for reading us.

Life is good! ¡Que siga lo bueno! Felicidades.
Thank you, all" I'm home sick today so there's not much celebration going on. But your well wishes mean a lot to me. Onward!
Feliz Cumpleaños, Daniel.
Your life and work has an epic romance feel to it: college sweethearts of thirty-two years and counting with a scholarly son about to take his degree.
I’m looking forward to reading your essay collection, THINGS WE DO NOT TALK ABOUT.
I love your title: it speaks to the forbidden. By saying these are THINGS WE DO NOT TALKE ABOUT, you are making your book instantly fascinating, because there is rebellion involved in talking about things we should not talk about.
