Jacqueline M. Martinez

Phenomenology of Chicana Experience and Identity

Communication and Transformation in Praxis

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

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.
