Prompts:
Choose just ONE of the following prompts and respond to it clearly, directly, and completely in 5 pages. These prompts offer slightly different formats. Prompt 1 asks you to write about Chicanx movement formation, naming three specific forms of resistance which you must address in your essay. Prompt 2 asks you to write about forms of Chicana/Latina resistance, also naming three specific forms of resistance which you must address in your essay.
Prompt 1:
The second half of CHI 10 has focused primarily on shifting modes of racialization in the 20th century and the forms of Chicanx resistance that have arisen in response. We’ve discussed:
The exploitation of the laboring Chicanx subject and resultant labor rights organizing
The criminalization of the Chicanx subject and the civil rights battles waged to gain recognition for Chicanxs in law/society
The fear of radical or revolutionary Chicanx youth and their competing visions for Chicanx politics
For this final essay, you will explain how the Chicanx movement came into formation in the twentieth century through each of the three histories of organizing listed above. In order to do so, must first explain the specific conditions of Chicanx racialization in the twentieth century that have generated collective resistance. Second, discuss in specific detail how each of these three histories of organizing have imagined and enacted Chicanx resistance in their constructions of Chicanismo. Use clear examples, paying attention to the interactions between capital, law, and ideology as racializing forces and the varying ways the movement chooses to respond to these racializing forces.
Prompt 2:
Another key theme of CHI 10 has been racialized gender and women of color’s resistance to femicide and marginalization under white heteropatriarchy. We’ve discussed:
The practical role of women as labor leaders, their specific exploitations in the workforce, and their relegation to the domestic sphere
The wounded poetics of Chicana subjectivity and the construction of Chicana feminist critiques to Chicanx nationalism
The absence of women’s voices from the archive and the claiming of Chicana/Latina existence against the erasure of WOC’s pains/voices/desires
For this final essay, you will explain how Chicanx femmes and other WOC have historically been integral to racialized resistance through each of the three histories of Chicana/Latina resistance and critique listed above. In order to do so, you must first explain the specific conditions of heteropatriarchy and white supremacy that women of color have responded to in the United States. Second, engage in a detailed analysis of at least three specific examples of Chicanx/Latinx women’s resistance as it has shaped/reshaped Chicanismo. Pay specific attention to the interactions between capital, law, and ideology as racializing/gendering forces, and the various ways Chicanx/Latinx femmes have responded to these forces.
