“…The three main sections were the following: (1) self—who are you?, (2) community—who is your community?, and (3) experiences as generators of change—what can you do (are you doing) for your community? These sections were based on Cotera's (1977) call for Latinas to engage in action in their communities (p. 30). The main study was analyzed using interpretative phenomenological analysis to explore how the participants experience every day and major life events, the significance of these events in their lives, and the meaning that is made of these events (Smith et al, 2009).…”

Entre Madres y Comadres: Trans Latina Immigrants Empowering Women Beyond Marianismo

When social workers discuss the lives of Latinx individuals, it is often in the context of cultural values such as marianismo. Marianismo is linked to Catholicism and patriarchal values that reinforce traditional gender scripts for women. Although Latina feminists have challenged these values for decades, it continues to be paramount that social workers deepen their understanding of the lives of Chicanas and Latinas through critical theories. From this perspective, mujeristas and Chicana feminists who emphasize liberative work often use the term comadres, or comothers, to explore Latinas’ roles and relationships. The distinction between the traditional motherly role of marianismo and the collaborative and empowering role of comadres was evident in our feminist-informed study about the lived experiences of trans Latina immigrants who are activists and agents of change in their Southern U.S. communities. Our goal as Latina feminists is to include these women in the theoretical conversation as their experiences allowed us to expand our knowledge of these concepts. By reconceptualizing the mutually supportive role of Latinas in their communities, trans Latina immigrants and Latina feminists encourage us to see Latinas beyond the traditional and stereotypical gender script of marianismo.

“…Oppression is another common theme in the literature on Latina leadership (Anzaldúa, 1987; Cotera, 1977; Moraga, 1981). For Latinas, structural barriers are factors keeping them from attaining positions of power and leadership.…”

Latinas are underrepresented in positions of leadership in the United States. Similar to other women of color, Latinas face a myriad of personal challenges and professional barriers in leadership development. The complexities of experiencing layers of oppression, a bicultural identity, and a lack of representation in leadership-development practice render a need for new approaches. This need can be met with innovative, creative, and culturally sensitive approaches to Latina leadership development. This article explores unique aspects of Latina leadership development that emerged during the process of creating a facilitated Latina leadership game. El Rio de Dichos is a game-based workshop centered around the theme of dichos, common Spanish idioms, that allow players to explore cultural themes, differing Latina leader personas, and the notion of scarce resources in the context of organizational leadership.

Intersectionality, Intersectional Standpoints, and Identity Politics

This article differentiates between standpoints, intersectionality, intersectional standpoints, and identity politics. It argues that although there is no necessary connection between intersectionality and ethics, the intersectional standpoints of the oppressed do epistemic, ethical, and political work. To make this argument it uses a case study that takes the form of an analysis of mainstream arguments for denying public assistance to the working-class undocumented from an intersectional standpoint of that group. This paper also addresses two substantial criticisms of intersectional standpoints, including the charge that identity-politics-based intersectional standpoints foster victimhood politics and undermine class-based struggles.
