DEAN, JENNY. Latina Filmmakers And Writers: The Notion Of Chicanisma Through Films And Novellas.
Floricanto Press, Mountain View.
During the Chicano Movement in the 1960s and 1970s, Chicanas helped Chicanos achieve equal rights, while at the same time suffered oppression as women wihin their own race. In the 1970s, the Chicana Feminist Movement was founded to address the specific needs of Chicanas as women of color in the United States. Chicana artits began to write and produce works in which Chicanas were given a proper name, voice, and image. Soon, Chicanisma, a sense of sisterhood and feminist discourse, emerged to confront the triple oppression of race, class, and gender. Latina Filmmakers and Writers: The Notion of Chicanisma Through Films and Novellas examines the works of seven celebrated Latinas who collectively represent a 20-year history of Chicanisma: Chicana (a film by Sylvia Morales), Puppet: A Chicano Novella (a book by Margarita Cota-C‡rdenas), La Ofrenda: The Days of the Dead (a film by Lourdes Portillo and Susana Mu–oz), Paletitas de Guayaba (a book by Erlinda Gonz‡les-Berry), El Espejo/The Mirror (a film by Frances SalomŽ Espa–a) and Loving Pedro Infante (a book by Denise Ch‡vez). These works demystify masculine power and offer realistic portrayals of Chicanas and give them a rightful name, image, and voice in American culture.
