Theatre of Attachment’
Joan Moore describes an innovative drama therapeutic approach to facilitating attachment between adoptive parents and their children who suffered abuse and neglect in their family of origin. Children of hostile parents often display fear of adults' proximity. Play is proposed as the most natural way to increase empathy between these children and adoptive parents. Their joint engagement in ‘make-believe’ invites discovery of new perspectives and h…

The Mexican American Family Album
The African American Family Album is a collection of the memories and experiences of a people who were first Africans, then slaves, and finally African Americans. Unlike most other immigrants to this country, the majority of Africans were brought to America against their will. The first slaves from Africa arrived in the Americas in the 16th century. Over the next 450 years, it is estimated that more than 11 million Africans (some think as many as…
The Chola Life Course
The theoretical argument of the paper is as follows: Traditional values may deter many Latinas from drug use, but they operate to ostracize adolescent girls from cholo (street) families. Those girls may be propelled into drug-using youth gangs or similar peer groups, where they are further channeled to the more deviant subcliques. This pivotal experience initiates a drug-oriented adult lifestyle. Gender norms mean that the typical male career pat…

The Paradox of Deviance in Addicted Mexican American Mothers
Two aspects of mothering-using drugs during pregnancy and giving up the rearing of one's children-are the focus of this analysis of 58 addicted Chicana mothers who spent their adolescent years in barrio gangs. From a traditional stance, such women were doubly deviant, since they violated gender-role prescriptions by joining a barrio gang and by becoming involved in heroin and street life. Half of these women added to this deviance by using heroin…
The Dilemma of American Immigration
Residence and Territoriality in Chicano Gangs
Researchers have long assumed that gang members live in the territory they defend as their turf. Our research into two Chicano gangs in East Los Angeles show that many do not. We examine the social and cultural factors which bind gang members together and look at the way non-residents join gangs. The widespread pattern of non-resident gang membership reflects the nature of impoverished Chicano settlements in Los Angeles. Our findings suggest that…
