News clippings, emails, and statements chronicle the controversy. The collection also contains interviews, typescripts, book reviews, correspondence, articles, news clippings, flyers, and pamphlets pertaining to Rebolledo's literary works, as well as the works of important Chicana authors including Denise Chávez, Sandra Cisneros, and Carmen Tafolla.
