Résumé
Destabilizing both English and Spanish in its refusal to respect the integrity of national codes, interlingual Chicano poetry may well be a transitory form of combativity. Beyond the stigma of linguistic anarchy, and far removed from the predictable postulates of sociolinguistics, it has refined code-switching into an aesthetics. Endowed with euphonic and yet jarring beauty, it stands out, in contemporary literary history, a symbol of embattled cultures.
