Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bachelor Thesis from the year 2018 in the subject American Studies - Literature, grade: 2,0, Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz, language: English, abstract: Diese Bachelorarbeit untersucht die Darstellung von „Queer Aztlán“ in Cherríe Moragas Theaterstück "The Hungry Woman: A Mexican Medea", und wie der Untergang der Protagonistin Medea exemplarisch auch für den Untergang des reformierten Aztlán steht. Der Begriff „Queer Aztlán“ stammt aus einem ihrer Essays von 1993. Als Einstieg in meine Untersuchung beleuchte ich in kurzer Form die geschichtlichen Ereignisse, die zum Chicano Movement führten. In dieser Zeit wurde „Aztlán“, der Legende nach das ursprüngliche Heimatland der Azteken, zu einem Symbolbild für den Chicano Nationalismus. Heutzutage bezieht sich Aztlán auf den Südwesten der USA. Da sich die Amerikaner mit mexikanischer Herkunft in den USA benachteiligt fühlten, forderten sie eine Gleichstellung in verschiedenen Bereichen des gesellschaftlichen Lebens, u.a. Zugang zu Bildung und politische Teilhabe. Erweiternd gehe ich auch darauf ein, welche Einflüsse diese Bewegung im Bereich des Chicano Theaters hatte. Moraga stellt in ihrem Essay heraus, dass diese Bewegung problematischerweise auch die patriarchalen Strukturen der weißen Amerikaner auf ihre Familien übertrugen und Frauen, sowohl im privaten als auch im öffentlichen Leben, eine niedere Rolle zugeschrieben wurde. Außerdem wurden auch homosexuelle Chicano/a Einwohner von der Bewegung ausgeschloßen und ihre Dienste im Sinne der Gemeinschaft nicht anerkannt. Daher fordert Moraga eine Erweiterung des Konzepts „Aztlán“ um die Bezeichnung „Queer Aztlán“. Ein Land in dem alle Chicano/as unabhängig von Geschlecht, Sexualität, Klasse, etc. leben können.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With contributions from a wide array of scholars and activists, including leading Chicana feminists from the period, this groundbreaking anthology is the first collection of scholarly essays and testimonios that focuses on Chicana organizing, activism, and leadership in the movement years. The essays in Chicana Movidas: New Narratives of Activisim and Feminism in the Movement Era demonstrate how Chicanas enacted a new kind of politica at the intersection of race, class, gender, and sexuality, and developed innovative concepts, tactics, and methodologies that in turn generated new theories, art forms, organizational spaces, and strategies of alliance. These are the technologies of resistance documented in Chicana Movidas, a volume that brings together critical biographies of Chicana activists and their bodies of work; essays that focus on understudied organizations, mobilizations, regions, and subjects; examinations of emergent Chicana archives and the politics of collection; and scholarly approaches that challenge the temporal, political, heteronormative, and spatial limits of established Chicano movement narratives. Charting the rise of a field of knowledge that crosses the boundaries of Chicano studies, feminist theory, and queer theory, Chicana Movidas: New Narratives of Activisim and Feminism in the Movement Era offers a transgenerational perspective on the intellectual and political legacies of early Chicana feminism.

It is the finest book yet written on the U.S.-Mexican War, and how it was central to the making and unmaking of U.S. mass culture, class, and racial formation."—José David Saldívar, author of Border Matters: Remapping American Cultural Studies "A major work that will challenge current paradigms of nineteenth-century literature and culture. American Sensations brilliantly succeeds in remapping the volatile and shifting terrain of both national identity and literary history in the mid-nineteenth century."—Amy Kaplan, co-editor of Cultures of United States Imperialism

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Latina/os are currently the largest minority population in the United States. They are also one of the fastest growing. Yet, we have very limited research and understanding of their sexualities. Instead, stereotypical images flourish even though scholars have challenged the validity and narrowness of these images and the lack of attention to the larger social context. Gathering the latest empirical work in the social and behavioral sciences, this reader offers us a critical lens through which to understand these images and the social context framing Latina/os and their sexualities. Situated at the juncture of Latina/o studies and sexualities studies, Latina/o Sexualities provides a single resource that addresses the current state of knowledge from a multidisciplinary perspective. Contributors synthesize and critique the literature and carve a separate space where issues of Latina/o sexualities can be explored given the limitations of prevalent research models. This work compels the current wave in sexuality studies to be more inclusive of ethnic minorities and sets an agenda that policy makers and researchers will find invaluable.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Collecting the perspectives of scholars who reflect on their own relationships to particular garments, analyze the politics of dress, and examine the role of consumerism and entrepreneurialism in the production of creating and selling a style, meXicana Fashions examines and searches for meaning in these visible, performative aspects of identity. Focusing primarily on Chicanas but also considering trends connected to other Latin American communities, the authors highlight specific constituencies that are defined by region (“Tejana style,” “L.A. style”), age group (“homie,” “chola”), and social class (marked by haute couture labels such as Carolina Herrera and Oscar de la Renta). The essays acknowledge the complex layers of these styles, which are not mutually exclusive but instead reflect a range of intersections in occupation, origin, personality, sexuality, and fads. Other elements include urban indigenous fashion shows, the shifting quinceañera market, “walking altars” on the Days of the Dead, plus-size clothing, huipiles in the workplace, and dressing in drag. Together, these chapters illuminate the full array of messages woven into a vibrant social fabric.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The interdisciplinary essays in Decolonial Voices discuss racialized, subaltern, feminist, and diasporic identities and the aesthetic politics of hybrid and mestiza/o cultural productions. This collection represents several key directions in the field: First, it charts how subaltern cultural productions of the US/ Mexico borderlands speak to the intersections of "local," "hemispheric," and "globalized" power relations of the border imaginary. Second, it recovers the Mexican women's and Chicana literary and cultural heritages that have been ignored by Euro-American canons and patriarchal exclusionary practices. It also expands the field in postnationalist directions by creating an interethnic, comparative, and transnational dialogue between Chicana and Chicano, African American, Mexican feminist, and U.S. Native American cultural vocabularies. Contributors include Norma Alarcón, Arturo J. Aldama, Frederick Luis Aldama, Cordelia Chávez Candelaria, Alejandra Elenes, Ramón Garcia, María Herrera-Sobek, Patricia Penn Hilden, Gaye T. M. Johnson, Alberto Ledesma, Pancho McFarland, Amelia María de la Luz Montes, Laura Elisa Pérez, Naomi Quiñonez, Sarah Ramirez, Rolando J.

Book excerpt: During the Chicano Movement in the 1960s and 1970s, the idea of Aztlán, homeland of the ancient Aztecs, served as a unifying force in an emerging cultural renaissance. Does the term remain useful? This expanded new edition of the classic 1989 collection of essays about Aztlán weighs its value. To encompass new developments in the discourse the editors have added six new essays.
