The witness names Cisneros among the leading writers of Mexican American descent and cites her collection Woman Hollering Creek and Other Stories of nineteen ninety-one. Latino American writing is described there as a relatively new group on the literary horizon at that date.
In practice
A newly visible body of American writing.
Where people slip
The witness wrote before the field's expansion.
