Prompt
In this course we have examined the formation and development of Chicanas/os and Mexican origin people historically, socially, politically, and economically by generally asking the question; How have Chicana/o people been formed as racial subjects throughout the 20th Century, and how have they challenged or re-articulated these ideological discourses through the development of an oppositional consciousness?
For this essay, you will narrate the development of the Chicana/o subject in a 4-5 pages essay addressing the historical interactions between Capital, Law, & Ideology. Choose one of the two prompts to answer.
1. How did the farmworkers movement, the education walkouts, and the movement trials challenge the construction of the Chicana/o subject? How did Capital/Law/Ideology produce this racial subject prior to 1960 (for example: The Braceros) and how Chicana/os put forward a new politicized identity.
2. Provide a historical account of the construction of a Chicana/o criminal subject throughout the 20thCentury, focusing on the 1940s (Zoot-Suitor Vs. Bracero), 1970s (Student Protestors) and1990s (Illegal Immigrant Vs. Assimilated Subject). How did each of these criminal subjects threaten the interests of capital and/or Anglo society, what discourses circulated about them, and how were they policed by Anglo and/or Chicano communities?
