Rosa Linda Fregoso's deft analysis of the cultural practices and symbolic forms that shape social identities takes her across a wide and varied terrain. Among the subjects she considers are the recent murders and disappearances of women in Ciudad Juárez; transborder feminist texts that deal with private, domestic forms of violence; how films like John Sayles's Lone Star re-center white masculinity; and the significance of la familia to the identity of Chicanas/os and how it can subordinate gender and sexuality to masculinity and heterosexual roles. Fregoso's self-reflexive approach to cultural politics embraces the movement for social justice and offers new insights into the ways that racial and gender differences are inscribed in cultural practices.American crossroads ;12.Mexican American womenMexican-American Border RegionSocial conditionsWomenMexican-American Border RegionSocial conditionsWomen in popular cultureMexican-American Border RegionWomen in motion picturesMexican American womenEthnic identityGroup identityMexican-American Border RegionPopular cultureMexican-American Border RegionMexican-American Border RegionCivilizationMexican-American Border RegionSocial conditionsMexican-American Border RegionEthnic relationsElectronic books.Mexican American womenSocial conditions.WomenSocial conditions.Women in popular cultureWomen in motion pictures.Mexican American womenEthnic identity.Group identityPopular culture305.48/868720721Fregoso Rosa Linda893621MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910449669903321MeXicana encounters2472691UNINA
