Chicana Feminist Thought

With energy and passion, this anthology of writings documents the personal and collective political struggles of Chicana feminists.
Contested Images
Contested Images: Women of Color in Popular Culture is a collection of 17 essays that analyze representations in popular culture of African American, Asian American, Latina, and Native American women. The anthology is divided into four parts: film images, beauty images, music, and television. The articles share two intellectual traditions: the authors, predominantly women of color, use an intersectionality perspective in their analysis of popular culture and the representation of women of color, and they identify popular culture as a site of conflict and contestation. Instructors will find this collection to be a convenient textbook for women’s studies; media studies; race, class, and gender courses; ethnic studies; and more.
Club Oasis
Come, fall in love with Pinky García-the fun-loving deejay, earnest reporter, and intrepid detective. Offering evocative episodes from a borderlands girlhood, The Club Oasis: Childhood Memories is a child's eye memoir to be savored and shared. This smart, spunky narrator does not walk between two worlds but creates her own path rich in imagination, familial warmth, Mexican tradition, and American popular culture. She observes with subtle insight the cultural tensions within her family and across El Paso, picking up nuances not always meant for children. Infused with the optimism of youth, Pinky and her adventures will resonate across generations.

Across a Hundred Mountains
Grande puts a human face on the epic story about those who make it across the border into America, those who never make it across, and those who are left behind.
Phenomenology of Chicana Experience and Identity
Using narrative descriptions of the author's own lived-experience of her ethnic heritage, Martinez offers a systematic interrogation of the social and cultural norms by which certain aspects of her Mexican-American cultural heritage are both retained and lost over generations of assimilation. Combining semiotic and existential phenomenology with Chicana feminism, the author charts new terrain where anti-racist, anti-sexist, and anti-homophobic work may be pursued.
Teaching Gloria E. Anzaldúa
Gloria Evangelina Anzaldúa—theorist, Chicana, feminist—famously called on scholars to do work that matters. This pronouncement was a rallying call, inspiring scholars across disciplines to become scholar-activists and to channel their intellectual energy and labor toward the betterment of society. Scholars and activists alike have encountered and expanded on these pathbreaking theories and concepts first introduced by Anzaldúa in Borderlands/La frontera and other texts. Teaching Gloria E. Anzaldúa is a pragmatic and inspiring offering of how to apply Anzaldúa’s ideas to the classroom and in the community rather than simply discussing them as theory. The book gathers nineteen essays...
