Summary/Abstract: The following study deals with the evolution of the centre-periphery dynamics in Chicano/a cultural and literary space of the Mexican American borderland region. With a brief overview of the socio-historical and geopolitical context in the background the article offers insight into the gradual formation of the cultural/literary capital of the Mexican American and later Chicano/a community, and inquiries into its possible emergence out of the formerly peripheral position in relation to the literary centres of Spain, Mexico or United States.
