vanguardstar:
“I call myself a Chicana writer. Not a Mexican-American writer, not a Hispanic writer, not a half-breed writer. To be a Chicana is not merely to name one’s racial/cultural identity, but also to name a politic, a politic that refuses assimilation into the US mainstream.

Identity Thoughts: 'Real first post' →
jaimerafaellopez:
