Mujeres in Factories: Race and Class Perspectives on Women, Work, and Family
Reproductive justice activism in the post‐ Dobbs era
Reproductive governance and anti‐abortion discourse increased dramatically after the Dobbs decision ended Roe. To reproductive justice advocates, this decision came after the pandemic lockdown that left staff working from home and they see it as a human rights crisis. In light of these radical changes, how are reproductive justice debates framed in the United States by women of color? Drawing on ethnographic research, I suggest that while the abo…
Women of Color
This keyword entry explores the multiple genealogies of the term women of color and the ways in which social activism, anti‐coloniality, and solidarity movements produced the term. By situating the multiple genealogies of women of color , the article demonstrates both its political potential for addressing forms of silencing and erasure about the experiences and scholarship by women of color through an intersectionality approach. The essay offers…

Feminist Insider Dilemmas: Constructing Ethnic Identity with Chicana Informants
In this chapter, the author discusses how her status as a simultaneous cultural "insider" and Chicana feminist researcher reflected a conundrum. The author's sense of Chicana feminist identity, constructed through participation in the Chicano movement, ironically hindered her understanding of the nuances of the ethnic identity of the women. Her status as insider also caused the dilemma of how to present the ethnographic "others" to her peers, Chi…
Women's Work and Chicano Families: Cannery Workers of the Santa Clara Valley
no claims that my findings can be applied to all Chicanos.I hope, however, that my perspective will contribute to the understanding of Chicana workers in other situations and that it will stimulate more detailed observations on Chicano families in the future.I also hope my work will be useful in comparative research on the millions of part-time and seasonal non-Chicana women workers.This book owes much to the help and emotional support I received…
Intersectional Praxis in the Movement for Reproductive Justice: The Respect ABQ Women Campaign
Intersectionality has been a capacious theoretical framework for understanding and enacting political praxis. Activists using an intersectional approach must cultivate flexibility and negotiate dynamics of difference and solidarity in relation to axes of power in local movement contexts. Recent scholarship on intersectional activisms raises questions about how intersectionality works in contemporary political struggles and whether there are parti…
Contesting Structural Vulnerability through Reproductive Justice Activism with Latina Immigrants in California
Latina migrant women in California in the post 9/11 era experience structural vulnerability that extends beyond their undocumented status, residence in poor neighborhoods with gangs, employment in informal sector jobs to their reproductive bodies. Although unauthorized women may access prenatal health, often they are intimidated or are unaware, and face many barriers to accessing reproductive health related to language, transportation, or their l…

Beyond the Screams: Latino Punkeros Contest Nativist Discourses
In debates about migration from Mexico, popular culture, especially music, can be an important political space for expressing feelings and thoughts about nativist discourses. Ann Cvetkovich's notion of "archives of feelings" is helpful for understanding political texts that address the plight of Mexicans in music. Performances become reflexive spaces that foster agency by allowing for a critique of politics from outside of and within Latino commu…

I'm Neither Here nor There: Mexicans' Quotidian Struggles with Migration and Poverty
I'm Neither Here nor There explores how immigration influences the construction of family, identity, and community among Mexican Americans and migrants from Mexico. Based on long-term ethnographic research, Patricia Zavella describes how poor and working-class Mexican Americans and migrants to California's central coast struggle for agency amid the region's deteriorating economic conditions and the rise of racial nativism in the United States.

Latinos in the USA: Changing socio-economic patterns
This paper aims to provide an overview of socio-economic inequality experienced by Latinas and Latinos, suggesting that the increase in numbers and their dispersal throughout the country disrupts the traditional black–white paradigm used in race relations theory. Instead, I argue that the particular historical and geographical experiences of Latinas/os portend complex changes within labour markets and neighbourhoods and across families, ultimatel…
Gendered Transitions: Mexican Experiences of Immigration
The momentous influx of Mexican undocumented workers into the United States over the last decades has spurred new ways of thinking about immigration. Pierrette Hondagneu-Sotelo's incisive book enlarges our understanding of these recently arrived Americans and uncovers the myriad ways that women and men recreate families and community institutions in a new land. Hondagneu-Sotelo argues that people do not migrate as a result of concerted household …

New Perspectives on Latina Women
The Impact of "Sun Belt Industrialization" on Chicanas
Historically, Mexican American women have had lower labor force participation rates than Anglo or black women. In 1960, only 24.4 percent of Chicanas were employed as compared to 34.5 percent of Anglo women.1 Explanations of these disparities in labor force participation rates have relied on a model of cultural determinism that identified cultural values and norms as the causal factors. Many authors assume that family values alone determine wheth…
