The books under consideration in this essay demonstrate that Latina women in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries shaped their lives from multiple locations and through the negotiation of a range of identities: as members of transnational communities expressing a diasporic subjectivity, as first- and second-generation immigrants constructing and reworking their cultural identities, and as activists forging new political identities and giving voice to multiple oppressions. Guided by a variety of interdisciplinary methods and questions, these authors recast Latina history by illustrating how migration, work, cultural change, leisure, and political activism are gendered processes, and how oral histories may incorporate the voices of women who are otherwise rendered silent by the written record. In the first book-length study of twentieth-century Mexican American women, Vicki Ruíz first introduced the concept of “cultural coalescence,” a strategy by which Mexican women and their children “pick, borrow, retain, and create distinctive cultural forms.”1 The influence of this model on subsequent studies of Latina history is evident in each of these books, as is the way Latina agents for social change have built on the activism of previous generations. [End Page 195] Memories and Migrations, a collection edited by the historians Vicki L. Ruíz and John R. Chávez, focuses on Mexican and Puerto Rican migrants to explore how region influenced Latinas’ experiences of migration, work, community, political activism, and identity formation. Several of the theoretical constructs and themes in Memories and Migrations are given full-length treatment in the other books under review. Ruíz contends that Latinas shaped their lives in the United States through homemaking, creating a diasporic subjectivity, and establishing links to region as well as to individual and collective memory (5). Case studies emphasize the connections between home country, adopted country, and the spaces in between, along with their role in the construction of cultural and political identities. The essays furthermore demonstrate the value of incorporating oral histories to elucidate the gendered histories of migration. The volume is organized around three themes: A Woman’s Place, Migration and Settlement, and Political Spaces. In the first section, María Montoya and Lydia Otero explain how Mexican women claimed space and engaged in homemaking, despite concerted efforts to diminish their cultural traditions and practices. Montoya’s study of the Rockefeller company towns in Colorado, for example, reveals how Mexican women challenged the company’s paternalistic Americanization policies. Otero provides an account of Alva Torres’s struggle to preserve a historic area significant to Tucson’s Mexican community in the face of urban renewal efforts, and how Torres and her allies drew on memories of this site to forge a collective identity and mobilize against city officials’ plan to destroy it. The second section deals with the complexities of migration, with chapters using US Immigration and Naturalization Service records to depict various aspects of women’s migration experiences. Yolanda Chávez-Leyva examines Mexican immigrant children’s struggles as they attempted to immigrate to the United States from 1910 to 1930. Protections that limited child labor and guaranteed access to education were generally not extended to Mexican children; immigrant girls especially were regarded with suspicion and their working-class status left them vulnerable to exploitation. In the following chapter, Gabriela Arredondo proposes the concepts of “lived regionalities” and mujeridades (femininities) to..." @default.
