NACCS conference planned

The National Association for Chicana and Chicano Studies’ (NACCS) 1996 National Conference will be held March 20–23, 1996, in Chicago. “Mapping Strategies: NACCS and the Challenge of Racist Policies” was chosen as the theme for the 33rd Conference. Planners hope the theme will initiate a broad dialogue within the association on the question of how NACCS should respond to the general trend of racist reaction.
