Disrupting Savagism: Intersecting Chicana/o, Mexican Immigrant, and Native American Struggles for Self-Representation
Colonial discourse in the United States has tended to criminalize, pathologize, and depict as savage not only Native Americans but Mexican immigrants, indigenous peoples in Mexico, and Chicanas/os as well.

| Zusammenfassung: | Colonial discourse in the United States has tended to criminalize, pathologize, and depict as savage not only Native Americans but Mexican immigrants, indigenous peoples in Mexico, and Chicanas/os as well. While postcolonial studies of the past few decades have focused on how these ethnicities have been constructed by others, Disrupting Savagism reveals how each group, in turn, has actively attempted to create for itself a social and textual space in which certain negative prevailing discourses are neutralized and rendered ineffective.Arturo J. Aldama begins by presenting a genealogy of the term "savage," looking in particular at the work of American ethnologist Lewis Henry Morgan and a sixteenth-century debate between Juan Ginés de Sepúlveda and Bartolomé de las Casas. Aldama then turns to more contemporary narratives, examining ethnography, fiction, autobiography, and film to illuminate the historical ideologies and ethnic perspectives that contributed to identity formation over the centuries. These works include anthropologist Manuel Gamio's The Mexican Immigrant: His Life Story, Leslie Marmon Silko's Ceremony, Gloria Anzaldúa's Borderlands/La Frontera, and Miguel Arteta's film Star Maps. By using these varied genres to investigate the complex politics of racialized, subaltern, feminist, and diasporic identities, Aldama reveals the unique epistemic logic of hybrid and mestiza/o cultural productions.The transcultural perspective of Disrupting Savagism will interest scholars of feminist postcolonial processes in the United States, as well as students of Latin American, Native American, and literary studies |

Mignolo Durham Duke University Press [2001] © 2001 1 online resource (208 pages) txt rdacontent c rdamedia cr rdacarrier Latin America otherwise : languages, empires, nations Description based on online resource; title from PDF title page (publisher's Web site, viewed 12. Dez 2020) Colonial discourse in the United States has tended to criminalize, pathologize, and depict as savage not only Native Americans but Mexican immigrants, indigenous peoples in Mexico, and Chicanas/os as well. While postcolonial studies of the past few decades have focused on how these ethnicities have been constructed by others, Disrupting Savagism reveals how each group, in turn, has actively attempted to create for itself a social and textual space in which certain negative prevailing discourses are neutralized and rendered ineffective.Arturo J. Aldama begins by presenting a genealogy of the term "savage," looking in particular at the work of American ethnologist Lewis Henry Morgan and a sixteenth-century debate between Juan Ginés de Sepúlveda and Bartolomé de las Casas. Aldama then turns to more contemporary narratives, examining ethnography, fiction, autobiography, and film to illuminate the historical ideologies and ethnic perspectives that contributed to identity formation over the centuries. These works include anthropologist Manuel Gamio's The Mexican Immigrant: His Life Story, Leslie Marmon Silko's Ceremony, Gloria Anzaldúa's Borderlands/La Frontera, and Miguel Arteta's film Star Maps. By using these varied genres to investigate the complex politics of racialized, subaltern, feminist, and diasporic identities, Aldama reveals the unique epistemic logic of hybrid and mestiza/o cultural productions.The transcultural perspective of Disrupting Savagism will interest scholars of feminist postcolonial processes in the United States, as well as students of Latin American, Native American, and literary studies In English SOCIAL SCIENCE / Anthropology / Cultural & Social bisacsh Américains d'origine mexicaine dans la littérature Américains d'origine mexicaine Identité ethnique Mexican-American Border Region Decolonization in literature Décolonisation dans la littérature Ethnicity in literature Ethnicité dans la littérature Indians in literature Indians of North America Ethnic identity Mexican-American Border Region Indians of North America Mexican-American Border Region Ethnic identity Indiens d'Amérique dans la littérature Indiens d'Amérique Identité ethnique États-Unis Mexican-American Border Region Mestizaje in literature Mestizos Ethnic identity Mexican-American Border Region Mestizos Mexican-American Border Region Ethnic identity Mexican Americans in literature Mexican Americans Ethnic identity Mexican-American Border Region Mexican Americans Mexican-American Border Region Ethnic identity Mexican-American Border Region dans la littérature Métis Identité ethnique Mexican-American Border Region Métissage dans la littérature Mignolo, Walter D. edt Saldívar-Hull, Sonia edt Silverblatt, Irene edt https://doi.org/10.1515/9780822380016 Verlag URL des Erstveröffentlichers Volltext |
