I need comments from each Paragraph
1. Paragraph
Self-
identification speaks volumes about regional, generational, and even political
orientations. Multiple identities even surface within individual families. As Salt
Lake City housing activist María Garcíaz reflected, “My mother is Spanish;
one brother is Mexican; my sister is Mexican American; I am Chicana. Three
brothers are Hispanic; and the youngest is Latina/o.

2. Paragraph
Aztec norms of feminine expectation have remained
surprisingly intact to the present day. They are relevant for Chicanas because
they suggest that prescribed roles for women in the culture are essentially inflex-
ible.” What exactly were the precise unchanging expectations that could be
traced from “Aztec models” to the present? According to the authors, these
included “being the heart of the home, bearing and rearing children, being clean
and tidy, dedicating oneself to a husband, and preserving one’s respectability in
the eyes of the community.

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

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

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

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

7. Paragraph
Kathy Davis del Valle,
the daughter of a mexicana and an African American, was exhorted by Chicano
nationalists to change her name to Katarina and to distance herself from her
African American father in order to “prove” her commitment to La Raza. This
incident was not an aberration, as students of blended heritage who came of age
during the 1960s and 1970s encountered similar litmus tests.

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

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