Summary:	"This collection of essays, drawn from 'Aztlán: A Journal of Chicano Studies,' focuses on the personal experiences of Chicanx and Latinx scholars, writers, and artists. Each essay is a reflection on the process of self-naming-the role of "I"-in the authors' work and research. 'Autobiography without Apology' expands the earlier CSRC Press publication 'I Am Aztlán' with the inclusion of ten essays that bring the collection up-to-date. The new title acknowledges Aztlán's growing scope as it embraces Latinx, LGBT, and Indigenous studies as well as Chicanx studies"--
