Analisa Taylor teaches courses in contemporary Latin American literature, focusing on Mexican, Central American and Chicana/o social movements and cultural expression. She is completing a study of indigenismo as both a literary and artistic movement and a state-sponsored rural development policy in post-revolutionary Mexico. This work examines how indigenous movements for political and economic self-governance are reshaping the contours of national artistic and intellectual circuits. She received a B.A. in Spanish and Sociology from the University of Oregon and an M.A. and PhD in Spanish and Latin American Studies from Duke University.
