Cristina Herrera

4.9/5 (28891 ratings)

Description:ChicaNerds in Chicana Young Adult Literature analyzes novels by the acclaimed Chicana YA writers, Jo Ann Yolanda Hern�ndez, Isabel Quintero, Ashley Hope P�rez, Erika S�nchez, Guadalupe Garc�a McCall, and Patricia Santana. Combining the term "Chicana" with "nerd", Dr. Herrera coins the term ChicaNerd to argue how the young women protagonists in these novels voice astute observations of their identities as non-white teenagers specifically through a lens of nerdiness, a reclamation of brown girl self-love for being a nerd. In analyzing these ChicaNerds, the volume examines the reclamation and powerful acceptance of one's nerdy Chicana self. While popular culture and mainstream media have shaped the well-known figure of the nerd as synonymous with white maleness, Chicana YA literature subverts the nerd stereotype through its negation of this identity as always white and male. These ChicaNerds unite their burgeoning sociopolitical consciousness as young nonwhite girls with their "nerdy" traits of bookishness, math and literary intelligence, poetic talents, and love of learning. Combining the sociopolitical consciousness of Chicanisma with one aligned to the well-known image of the "nerd," ChicaNerds learn to navigate the many complicated layers of coming to an empowered declaration of themselves as smart Chicanas.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
