I need comments from each Paragraph<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
1. Paragraph<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Self-<\/span>
identification speaks volumes about regional, generational, and even political<\/span>
orientations<\/span>.<\/span> <\/span>Multiple identities even surface within individual families. As Salt<\/span>
Lake City housing activist Mar\u00eda Garc\u00edaz reflected, \u201cMy mother is Spanish;<\/span>
one brother is Mexican; my sister is Mexican American; I am Chicana. Three<\/span>
brothers are Hispanic; and the youngest is Latina\/o.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
2. Paragraph<\/div>\n
Aztec norms of feminine expectation have remained<\/span>
surprisingly intact to the present day. They are relevant for Chicanas because<\/span>
they suggest that prescribed roles for women in the culture are essentially inflex-<\/span>
ible.\u201d What exactly were the precise unchanging expectations that could be<\/span>
traced from \u201cAztec models\u201d to the present? According to the authors, these<\/span>
included \u201cbeing the heart of the home, bearing and rearing children, being clean<\/span>
and tidy, dedicating oneself to a husband, and preserving one\u2019s respectability in<\/span>
the eyes of the community.<\/span><\/div>\n

mbricating color as part of racial and class formations, Linda Gordon, in her<\/span>
award winning study<\/span> <\/span>The Great Arizona Orphan Abduction<\/span>, details how in 1904<\/span>
New York City Irish foundlings bound for Clifton, Arizona in an orphan train<\/span>
were given to Mexican parents upon their arrival. Stunned to see white babies in<\/span>
the arms of Mexicans, Euro-American women urged their male kin to round up<\/span>
the children by force. After the round up, the Catholic religious were literally run<\/span>
out of town and the children were redistributed to Euro-American households.<\/span>

4.Paragraph<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
This laundry list of cultural prescriptions could be<\/span>
applied to women across time, region, and culture. For instance, the cult of true<\/span>
womanhood in Victorian America comes immediately to mind. The authors<\/span>
blithely ignore over five hundred years of historical change, not the least of<\/span>
which encompass three centuries of Spanish colonial rule, the conquest of the<\/span>
Mexican North, and the successive movements of peoples to the United State<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
5.Paragraph<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
Men remembered the strike in terms of wages and conditions; women<\/span>
remembered the events in terms of food.\u201d<\/span>9<\/span> <\/span>Bolstered by a fervent sense of<\/span>
mexicanidad<\/span>, worker identities as community builders and proletariats politicized<\/span>
by material circumstances and at times Mexican revolutionary ideals serve as the<\/span>
common interpretive threads running throughout Chicana\/o labor studies.<\/span>
<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
6. Paragraph<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
The orphanage sued but lost in the Arizona Supreme Court and later the US<\/span>
Supreme Court. Gordon posits that Mexicans had chosen the children precisely<\/span>
because of their complexion and heritage, in part as an investment for their<\/span>
families\u2019 future, as the young boys would grow up to claim white wages in the mines.<\/span>
<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
7. Paragraph<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
 Kathy Davis del Valle,<\/span>
the daughter of a mexicana and an African American, was exhorted by Chicano<\/span>
nationalists to change her name to Katarina and to distance herself from her<\/span>
African American father in order to \u201cprove\u201d her commitment to La Raza. This<\/span>
incident was not an aberration, as students of blended heritage who came of age<\/span>
during the 1960s and 1970s encountered similar litmus tests.<\/span>
<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

9. Paragraph<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Lara Medina focuses on the participation of nuns in the Chicano Move-<\/span>
ment. She examines the ways in which the sisters navigated the Church, Chicano<\/span>
nationalism, and the communities they served.<\/span> <\/span>Las Hermanas<\/span> <\/span>have contributed<\/span>
materially and spiritually to their neighborhoods as they have pioneered strategies<\/span>
of empowerment through grassroots organizations<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
10. Paragraph<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
Focusing on youth, Garc\u00eda inter-<\/span>
rogates the lived experiences of Mexican Americans as individuals who traversed<\/span>
and transgressed a sociocultural milieu that included as integral actors Euro-<\/span>
Americans, African Americans, and Mexican immigrants. He demonstrates the<\/span>
multiplicity of inherently political intercultural discourses among such groups<\/span>
as aspiring thespians performing at the Padua Hills dinner theater, to African<\/span>
American and Latina\/o musicians and their young fans who frequented a popular<\/span>
integrated Pomona dance hall, the aptly named Rainbow Gardens.<\/span>
