Download or read book Phenomenology of Chicana Experience and Identity written by Jacqueline M. Martinez and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2000 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using narrative descriptions of the author's own lived-experience of her ethnic heritage, Martinez offers a systematic interrogation of the social and cultural norms by which certain aspects of her Mexican-American cultural heritage are both retained and lost over generations of assimilation. Combining semiotic and existential phenomenology with Chicana feminism, the author charts new terrain where anti-racist, anti-sexist, and anti-homophobic work may be pursued.
