History

Chiricú started as cultural and political magazine in 1976 for Latina/o of poetry, fiction, artwork, and fiction at a time when there were few spaces at Latina/o expression.[2] The founding editors were students at the Indiana University; they titled the mimeographed magazine: Chiricú.[8] The monker captured the diverse origins of the major Spanish-speaking populations in the United States at the time: “Chi” for Chicanos, “Ri” for puertorriqueños, and “Cú” for cubanos.[2][7] Over thirty-six years (1976-2012) the publication evolved into a full-color journal with contributions in English, Spanish, and Portuguese. It contained early works by Sandra Cisneros, Norma Alarcón, Giannina Braschi, Cristina Garcia, as well as rare interviews with Jorge Luis Borges and Edward James Olmos.[9]
