Hello, I was wondering if you could recommend me any literature on chicana feminism/xicanisma. Side note; thank you so much for this blog its very eye opening and helpful!
Thanks! Here’s a classic:
“This Bridge Called My Back: Writings by Radical Women of Color is a feminist anthology edited by Cherríe Moraga and Gloria E. Anzaldúa. The anthology was first published in 1981 by Persephone Press, and the second edition was published in 1983 by Kitchen Table: Women of Color Press. This Bridge centered the experiences of women of color, offering a serious challenge to white feminists who made claims to solidarity based on sisterhood. Writings in the anthology, along with works by other prominent feminists of color, call for a greater prominence within feminism for race-related subjectivities, and ultimately laid the foundation for third wave feminism. This Bridge has become “one of the most cited books in feminist theorizing.“

Founded in 2005, the all-female motorcycle club meets every Sunday to cruise through the streets of New Orleans and share in the sisterhood of partaking in what is often a male-dominated arena.
“The motorcycle and MC [motorcycle club] world is very male-dominated, so to be African American and be a woman involved in this predominantly male world was also really fascinating.”
the contrast between their glamorous looks and gritty bikes sets them apart from other riders.
“Watching them dressed so feminine, and then being on these really masculine machines and being able to control them and do tricks on them, is visually stunning,” she said.
That is so damn badass! I’m in love!!!!!!
i’m obsessed with the idea of all black girl gangs.
Black women helping, fighting for and supporting other black women is what we need.

The move by creator Bryan Fuller breaks ground in several ways: Martin-Green becomes the first African-American female lead of a “Star Trek” series. Excellent! The franchise has also never had a non-commanding officer act as the main character.
The key, though, is that the future Roddenberry at his best envisioned had every color in the rainbow and then some. Which meant you couldn’t go two minutes on the Enterprise without running across a slew of black, brown, etc. people along with many other species. Which is why Trek consistently cast for very diverse ensembles.
To get to a future where ‘it doesn’t matter,’ you have to present to an audience a vision of that wholly diverse and untroubled world. You don’t do that by just casting and showing white people, which is why they didn’t.

How to Endear Yourself to an Asian Woman Writer:
1. Tell her you love her eyes—they make her look smart.
2. Inquire at a shout about her English language skills. Congratulate her on her fluency.
3. Underestimate her age by ten to fifteen years. When you find that the petite girl you’ve been calling “sweetie” and “honey” is a woman older than you, older than you thought, has a partner, and you stand corrected, tell her she’ll be glad to look so young some day. Continue to call her “sweetie.”
4. Ask her where she’s from. Ask her where she’s from from.
5. When she says Japan/Vietnam/Laos, say you were once in Bali. Smile broadly. Congratulate yourself on your worldliness.
6. Announce that she writes real well for “someone her age,” despite having no inkling about the breadth and depth of where her life has taken her.
7. Put your hands on her shoulders, on her head. Touch her, stroke her like a pet, like a plaything, like she’s so cute, you just can’t resist; all women, but especially Asian women, are pliant.
8. When she tells you to stop, ask why she has to be angry. Tell your friends about the angry Asian chick. Warn them to stay away.
9. Commend her on her writing, then ask why she’s featuring another Burmese/South Korean/Filipina character. If she asks why you’re writing about another American one, see number 8, angry. Don’t forget to notify your friends.
10. Most of all, if you’re the type to be attracted to women, when she tells you she’s from Thailand, give her a smile that lets her know you like Thai women, you get the code, you’re on the inside, and you want some too.

I’m so tired of stereotypes that come along every Black women. And the fact that they were created by the white media really pisses me off! I am very proud of all Black girls and I admire all their accomplishments despite the hate of the modern society.
