Emma Perez (born in El Campo Texas, October 25, 1954) is a queer Chicana author, academic investigator, and a university professor. BiographyEmma Perez was born in El Campo, Texas. Since this was a small town and with a predominantly white population, she moved to Los Angeles to continue her studies in a more diverse place. In 1979, she received a degree in political science and women studies from the University of California. In 1982 and 1988, respectively, she obtained her master's and doctorate in history from the University of California, Los Angeles. Emma Perez has been a professor at the University of Texas at El Paso (1990-2003), where she became the head of the department of History.[1]. In 2003, she became a professor and the head of the department of ethnic studies at the University of Colorado at Boulder[1] while helping in the Department's Ph.D. program in Comparative Ethnic Studies[2]. She has specialized in Chicana history and feminist studies. She is now a research social scientist at the Southwest Studies Center at the University of Arizona whilst being a professor in the Gender and Women's Studies department. InfluencesEmma Perez is recognized as a founding influence of decolonial studies, and of Queer of Color Critique. She has incorporated Queer of Color Critique into several of her literary works. Along with decolonial studies, she is a pioneer of dismantling what a Chicana identity includes and how it is formed. She believes that a Chicana's identity if influenced by three prominent figures, The Virgin Mary and La Malinche (the whore)[3]. She is also a key Chicana lesbian feminist thinker, alongside Gloria Anzaldua, Cherrie Moraga, and Alicia Gaspar de Alba. WorksEmma Perez has numerous publications: books, articles, and chapters of books. She is a diverse author but specializes in Chicana history, post colonial theory, queer theory, feminist studies, and creative writing. Emma Perez's first literary work, "Gulf Dreams", published in 1996, is considered to be one of the first Chicana lesbian novels in print[2]. Her most famous piece, “Forgetting the Alamo, Or Blood Memory”, published in 2009, narrates the story of a 19 year old lesbian woman and her romance with a mixed race woman, who are witnesses of the violence towards the minorities after the battle. The themes of the book cover politics, immigration and the culture of the western United States, which are still relevant nowadays. According to Rocky Mountain Modern Language Association "Forgetting the Alamo, Or Blood Memory" proposes that sexuality and gender are inextricably linked to language, culture, and race, something that has been under-theorized in many articulations of queer and feminist theory"[4]. "Forgetting the Alamo, Or Blood Memory" was nominated and won the Christopher Isherwood Writing Grant in 2009 and the National Association for Chicana/Chicano Studies Regional Book Award for fiction in 2011[2]. Her latest book, "Electra's Complex" was also nominated for the Golden Crown Literary Award[5] Books
