CULTURALLY RESPONSIVE LITERATURE
Culturally Responsive Literature (CRL) inspires a love of reading.
Reading culturally relevant literary works leads to greater self-understanding, the fostering of social relations, greater well-being, improved cognitive and academic development, and a higher disposition to participate in a civic and democratic society.
Studies prove that when students of all cultural backgrounds are exposed to and participate in curriculum which reflects their culture and identity, they not only value all cultures ~ they exceed in all content areas.

The fifth issue of Huizache is as stunning as its predecessors: a 60’s throwback cover by Los Angeles artist Diane Gamboa, full-color plates by Caribbean painter Claude Fiddler, poetry by one of the East Coast’s most beloved poets, Cornelius Eady, fiction by the still-rising Chicano star Manuel Muñoz, an essay by a Chicana already in the pantheon, Denise Chávez, a mythic origin memoir by a homeless Colombiana in New York City, María López. Huizache offers work from the edges, the corners, and above all from our own side of America: El Paso, San Antonio, Chicago, Tucson, Austin, San Francisco, Mexicali, Fullerton, San Diego, Fresno, Los Angeles. Alongside work by the well-known devorah major, Glenn Taylor, Pat LittleDog, and ir’ene lara silva, h5 proudly welcomes new voices such as Fernando Flores, Vanessa Diaz, and Javier Zamora.
