Anatomy of an Early Journal: De Colores

This article examines details and content of one of the earliest Latina/o studies-focused journals, based in the Southwest, De Colores, to identify the mission, collective efforts, and subject matter that helped lead to the formation of a field in Chicano studies. As with other 1970s journals, contributors to this journal also created some of the earliest examples of Chicano/Latino scholarship, and published literary anthologies by U.S.-based Hispanic/Latino writers, through Pajarito Publications in Albuquerque.
