Abstract

The following interview with Cherríe Moraga was done at Stanford University in Palo Alto California, 09.06.2005 . She is an Artist-in-Residence and serves as Director of the University Theatre Group at Stanford in the Department of Theatre Arts. Cherríe Moraga is one of the most striking female figures in contemporary American writing owing not only to her choice of interesting subject matter but also to her authentic form of writing encompassing different genres. Being a Chicana lesbian herself, Moraga has written several essays concerning Chicana identity and/or queer identity. Most of her essays may be considered autobiographical works since her standpoint is usually her own individual experience.
