Talk:Chicana feminism

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

	Chicana feminism falls under the scope of WikiProject Mexican-Americans, an effort to build a comprehensive and detailed guide to Mexican-Americans on the Wikipedia. This includes but is not limited to Mexican-Americans as well as those not so affiliated, country and region-specific topics, and anything else related to Mexican-Americans. If you would like to participate, you can edit the article attached to this page, or visit the project page, where you can join the project and/or contribute to the discussion.

Does Chicana feminism seek to help Mexican-American women gain more social power in the United States, or does it seek to help Mexican American women in the United States gain more social power? The former would imply that it helps Mexican American women find their way to the United States.

Does it only involve Mexican-Americans, or does it also involve Mexicans temporarily residing in the United States? Does it exclude Spanish-American women whose history in the United States precedes Mexican independence? Xientist 00:49, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Xicanisma

This is a term coined by Ana Castillo, and from what I know about it, it is more complex than its equation with "Chicana feminism" can do justice.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 169.231.18.25 (talk • contribs).
