Aida Hurtado, “An Invitation to Power: The Restructuring of Gender in the Political Movements of the 1960s” (From The Color of Privilege: Three Blasphemies on Race and Feminism 91-122)
Marcela Christine Lucero-Trujillo, “Machismo Is Part of Our Culture,” “No More Cookies, Please”
What was your reaction to the poems? Did you like them? How do they connect to the reading we’re doing in Blackwell? Can you relate “Machismo Is Part of Our Culture” to the reading by Hurtado as well?
What are the Chicano masculinities described by Hurtado? Do you see Chicanas in the 1960s and 1970s defining their feminism against the masculinities of Chicano Movement? How do you see this working and what evidence for and against it have you seen in the readings?
