In this article we first present the contribution of Chicano literature to understand the position of this culture within the social context of the United States. Then, we establish the relation between the theme of immigration that is reflected in these great works as well as certain literary works in Europe. Finally, we present the learning processes that have been implemented and which have found that the study of literature (in our case, Chicano) arouses interest in learning about a culture and with this motivation and development of language and communication skills, the student will develop critical thinking making him or her an autonomous, competent and creative learner in learning a target language, in this case Spanish.
