Abjection And The Cinematic Cholo: The Chicano Gang Stereotype In Sociohistoric Context, Richard Mora
Abjection And The Cinematic Cholo: The Chicano Gang Stereotype In Sociohistoric Context, Richard Mora
Richard Mora
In this brief research note, the author uses a sociohistoric lens to examine selected films that have employed the cholo, or Chicano gang member, stereotype. He finds that the cholo is a prevalent archetype of Mexican and Mexican American youth. The author argues that the depiction of the cholo as a hypermasculine, abject personage threatening the social order converges with how actual Latino youth are constructed in sociopolitical and media discourses-as both marginalized young men and migrants unworthy of membership in U.S. society.
