Next of Kin: The Family in Chicano/A Cultural Politics (Latin America Otherwise: Languages, Empires, Nations)

Richard T. Rodríguez

4.9/5 (17572 ratings)

Description:As both an idea and an institution, the family has been at the heart of Chicano/a cultural politics since the Mexican American civil rights movement emerged in the late 1960s. In Next of Kin, Richard T. Rodriacute;guez explores the competing notions of la familia found in movement-inspired literature, film, video, music, painting, and other forms of cultural expression created by Chicano men. Drawing on cultural studies and feminist and queer theory, he examines representations of the family that reflect and support a patriarchal, heteronormative nationalism as well as those that reconfigure kinship to encompass alternative forms of belonging. brbrDescribing how la familia came to be adopted as an organizing strategy for communitarian politics, Rodriacute;guez looks at foundational texts including Rodolfo Gonzales's well-known poem "I Am Joaquiacute;n," the Chicano Liberation Youth Conference's manifesto El Plan Espiritual de Aztlaacute;n, and Joseacute; Armas's La Familia de La Raza. Rodriacute;guez analyzes representations of the family in the films I Am Joaquiacute;n, Yo Soy Chicano, and Chicana; the Los Angeles public affairs television series Ahora!; the experimental videos of the artist-activist Harry Gamboa Jr.; and the work of hip-hop artists such as Kid Frost and Chicano Brotherhood. He reflects on homophobia in Chicano nationalist thought, and examines how Chicano gay men have responded to it in works including Al Lujan's video SM in the Hood, the paintings of Eugene Rodriacute;guez, and a poem by the late activist Rodrigo Reyes. Next of Kin is both a wide-ranging assessment of la familia's symbolic power and a hopeful call for a more inclusive cultural politics.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
