Writing Inside The Caja: Constructing Pasos In English Composition Studies, Linda Joyce Preciado
Writing Inside The Caja: Constructing Pasos In English Composition Studies, Linda Joyce Preciado
Theses Digitization Project
In this thesis, I examine the resistance, privileges, and costs of Chicana textual identity issues in an academic arena that, by design, fragments voice and dictates choice. The scarcity in research of Chicana identity through mixed-language writing in composition depicts an existing chasm between academic demographics and university sentiments. Educational institutions that neglect to investigate, engage, and participate in textual identity perpetuate accepted pensamiento. Therefore, insight to Chicana thought, culture, and educational experiences may assist and inform the teaching dominant culture, not to separate, but to conjoin information with experience for those seeking diversity.
