[edit] who is involved in Chicana feminism

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).
