▼ Mexican American women are at particular risk of being diagnosed with breast cancer at a later stage. Risk factors include genetics, limited screening practices, and delayed treatment. Evidence has shown culture to be an important factor influencing screening beliefs, health care behaviors, and breast cancer knowledge. A culturally and linguistically appropriate educational video about breast cancer and breast cancer screening recommendations was created, in both the English and Spanish languages, to engage Mexican American women and explore their perceptions and feedback about the culturally tailored intervention. Qualitative descriptive methodology was used to explore Mexican American women’s perceptions of a culturally and linguistically appropriate educational video about breast cancer and the importance of breast cancer screenings. Using snowball recruitment from a Spanish language breast cancer support group, eight Mexican origin women participated in a focus group interview. The interview was conducted in the Spanish language. The video production integrated Mexican cultural values and used them as instruments to present information about breast cancer and breast cancer screening recommendations. An extensive literature review and a theoretical underpinning helped guide the project purpose and intervention. The findings supported the importance of production of a culturally and linguistically appropriate education video to educate Mexican American women about breast cancer and the importance of breast cancer screenings. Analysis of the focus group discussion identified an overarching theme of “Language, Identity, Values” which supports the underlying premise that the information needed to be presented in the language spoken by the population of focus, in ways they could identify with, using cultural values to under pin the messages presented in the video. The implications for nurse practitioners, centers on the importance of employing Mexican cultural values when imparting knowledge. More studies like this one can help further identify the impact of Mexican cultural values on health care.

▼ This research explored the self-concept of Chicanas in terms of their lived experiences and how those experiences influenced the shaping of their identity. It examined the multiple labels Chicanas use to self-identify and the context or situations in which they use specific labels. Moreover, it took into account the influence of gender, ethnicity, language, race, and culture on their concept of self. My study employed interpretive and collaborative research methods and included my own narrative story as part of the analytical process. It draws on a Chicana femenista (feminist) pedagogy that is heavily influenced by an Indigenous perspective as the conduit for the construction and transmission of knowledge. My objectives during the course of the study were to explore the many facets of Chicanas' experiences and challenge prevailing notions about our identity. The chief method for collecting data was interactive, dialogic interviews with five Chicana participants. During the loosely structured interviews, the women were asked to narrate their life stories as they related to the shaping of their concept of self. The women's detailed narratives and personal reminiscences as well as my own provided the data that was analyzed and interpreted to examine Chicana identity. The women were co-participants in "making sense" of the data. They provided guidance, expressed opinions, and helped to construct the meaning of their lived experiences. The results of the interpretation process indicated that culture and the intersecting factors of gender, language, age, ethnicity, and race shaped the participants' concept of self. Hence, their identity was culturally learned and mediated via their perceptions of the world. In turn, their worldview was influenced by the aforementioned factors. The women's narratives also suggested that they used multiple identity labels and that they were contextual. Thus, identity can change or evolve over the course of one's lifespan and through one's lived experiences. As such, Chicana identity is not fixed. As Chicanas we are constructing our own identity rather than allowing it to be imposed by others. Moreover, we are extending the possibility that we continually construct our identity.

LAS MUJERES DEL OTRO LADO: A CRITIQUE OF THE REPRESENTATIONS OF MEXICAN WOMEN AT THE U.S.-MEXICO BORDER BYAdriana Martinez-Fernandez This dissertation analyzes cultural representations of Mexican border women and their interactions with their political and social environment. Short stories, novels, documentaries, plays, testimonial literature and films on the Mexican women at the U.S.-Mexico border are crucial to the understanding of gendered constructions at la frontera, as they formulate a metacommentary to a variety of complex issues `on the ground.' That is to say, the portrayals of border women unquestionably attest to often-clashing perspectives on culture, nation, sexuality and class. This dissertation focuses on the following texts: Chapter 1 centers on Ciudad Juárez, examining Alicia Gaspar de Alba's novel Desert Blood: The Juárez Murders (2005) and the documentary film La Batalla de las Cruces (2005), directed by Rafael Bonilla. These texts have been chosen because their portrayals of juarense women address the discourse of victimization from different perspectives within the context of the hundreds of murders of women that have afflicted this city with impunity since 1993. These texts reflect the paradoxes that emerge either from underlining the helpless condition of the victims or from creating a public persona for the activists campaigning against the murders. Chapter 2, which deals with the depictions of women from Tijuana, uses three short stories by Rosina Conde and the documentary Maquilápolis: City of Factories (2006) by directors Vicky Funari and Sergio de la Torre, Ackowledging that in Tijuana the figure of the prostitute and other "public women" constantly appear as symbolic presences, these texts best address reinterpretations and recreations of the "public woman," with all of its paradoxical negotiations, from contrasting feminist perspectives. Chapter 3 centers on the feature films Bread and Roses (2000) and La Misma Luna (2007) and the testimonies compiled by Alicia Alarcón La migra me hizo los mandados [The Border Patrol Ate my Dust] (2002) in order to study the portrayals of women migrants, These texts are analyzed through the discussion of the iconic Malinche, as all women represented in them are touched, in one way or another, by the shadow of La Malinche. This Mexican icon symbolically interacts with the female protagonists of these texts as they are also risking being associated with the "treachery" of leaving their own culture and accepting a different culture as migrants. Finally, Chapter 4 examines the representation of the women who stay in Mexico while their loved ones leave to cross la frontera, through the play Mujer on the border (2005), adapted by María Muro and Marta Aura, and the documentary film Letters from…

▼ One of the largely undetected and untreated health conditions affecting the Latino population in the United States is depression. Although the onset of depression can be influenced by a variety of factors that differ among individuals, Latinos in the United States are subject to certain cultural-specific social and environmental stresses that may increase their risk. As Latinos become more acculturated into the American mainstream, they may be less likely to experience these stressors. Latina women have been found to have considerably higher rates of depression symptoms than their male counterparts; traditional values of the culture may be creating a sociocultural backdrop of gender inequality that could serve as a precursor to mental disorders. There is a gap in the research in relation to how depression rates in Latinas may be affected by the process of acculturation in the context of gender-based roles and power. This study is an exploration of how acculturation and relationship power affect the presence or absence of depression symptoms in Mexican immigrant women. A sample of 35 women from Benton County, Oregon, was interviewed using a questionnaire comprised of the revised Center for Epidemiologic Studies depression scale (CESD-R), the Short Acculturation Scale for Hispanics (SASH) and the Sexual Relationship Power Scale (SRPS). The purpose of the survey was to generate hypotheses for further research into factors that need to be taken into consideration when designing mental health programs for Latinos in the United States. Forty percent (40%) of the women in this study were classified as having depression symptoms according to their CESD-R scores, and a majority of the women were classified a having a low acculturation level. Also, the results indicate that most of the women in this study had medium to high levels of relationship power. The analysis did not yield a strong association between depression and acculturation scores or between depression and relationship power scores. There was a strong correlation found between acculturation and relationship power. It is hoped that this study will call attention to the mental health needs of Hispanic women and that the information gathered will aid in creating successful and culturally-relevant prevention and treatment services.

▼ The purpose of the study was to elicit the best overall predictors of self-esteem and locus of control in a sample of 708 Mexican-American women. In spite of the growing number of Mexican-Americans, psychological variables have not been addressed sufficiently, especially among Mexican-American women. Therefore, this type of research can contribute significantly to the understanding of Mexican-American women. A modified, multistage, cluster sampling strategy was used in order to obtain the sample. Using role theory as the theoretical orientation, three types of predictors were introduced as independent variables: cultural predictors, demographic predictors, and male/female relationship predictors. Initial correlation analyses were used to view the relationship of the variables in each of the predictor groups with self-esteem and locus of control. The second step of the analysis involved regressing variables from the three predictor groups onto self-esteem and locus of control. In order to reduce the large number of variables in the regression equation, three separate factor analyses were conducted, one on each of the three groups of variables. The final regression equation included these factor scores and three interaction terms. The multiple regression analysis found the strongest predictor of self-esteem to be the factor score representing relationship quality. The second significant predictor of self-esteem was a factor which included relationship egalitarianism. The interaction terms and other variables in the regression were nonsignificant. The factor representing marital quality also emerged as the strongest predictor of locus of control. This was followed by the demographic factor score representing education and income. The final significant predictor of locus of control was the factor score representing relationship egalitarianism. Again, other variables in the equation, including interaction terms were nonsignificant. These results are discussed together with implications of these findings for the Mexican-American population, as well as recommendations for future research.

▼ The current study extended prior research examining the impact of acculturation on body satisfaction while integrating possible mediating variables for a sample of Mexican American women. Specifically, the study examined the relationships among acculturation (ARSMA-II), acculturative stress related to racism and immigration (HWSSS), objectified body consciousness (OBCS), SES, age, BMI, and body dissatisfaction. Outcome measures of body dissatisfaction included the EDI subscales of Body Dissatisfaction, Bulimia, Drive for Thinness, and Ineffectiveness, as well as the Body Esteem Scale (BES). Participants were 352 women of Mexican descent between the ages of 18 and 50 years recruited through California State University, San Bernardino and in the community. Using SEM, fit indices indicated model fit was moderate with model modifications. Results supported the hypothesis that a significant indirect relationship exists between acculturation and body dissatisfaction, which is accounted for by the intermediating variables in the model. Greater acculturation was associated with less acculturative stress, but increased objectified body consciousness. Increasing objectified body consciousness was directly associated with higher body dissatisfaction while acculturative stress was not directly associated with body dissatisfaction. BMI, age, and SES were found to be significant variables that need to be accounted for when examining other influences on body dissatisfaction. Shedding light on the unique factors that trigger body dissatisfaction for Latinas allows for the development of culturally sensitive interventions for related outcomes such as eating disorders. Findings indicate changes through acculturation plays a lesser role in body dissatisfaction for Mexican American women than whether they internalize societal standards. Post-hoc analyses indicated that increased acculturative stress is related to increased objectified body consciousness and endorsement of a greater Mexican orientation is associated with lower body dissatisfaction. Implications of the study include the importance of assisting Latinas in maintaining a positive connection to their culture of origin and in critically evaluating mainstream body ideals as the internalization of these ideals is significantly associated with body dissatisfaction. A further implication is the importance of assessing Latina women's acculturation levels and experiences of acculturative stressors such as racism in terms of shaping their attitudes toward their bodies and the development of disordered eating.

▼ Recent demographic studies have revealed a greater diversity in settlement patterns among Mexican immigrant families resulting in rapidly climbing populations of immigrants in new areas of the country, particularly in rural areas, while growth in established destinations has slowed. Host communities play an important role in families' acculturation processes and the contexts in which families reside impacts their development. Parenting confidence is one example of family well-being that has been identified as subject to contextual influences such as community, acculturative stress, and poverty. Taking into account the potential impact of changing settlement patterns on families, this mixed-method study aimed to gain a better understanding of the factors that shape parenting experiences among rural low-income Mexican immigrant mothers living in both newly settled and established destinations. In the first phase of the study, quantitative data from a sample (n = 64) of low-income Mexican immigrant mothers living in rural California, Iowa, Michigan, and Oregon were analyzed in order to determine whether parenting support moderates the effect of community type on parent confidence. Next, concurrently collected qualitative data from interviews with a purposefully selected sub-set (n = 18) of these individuals were explored. The goal of the qualitative analysis was to illustrate the quantitative data, discover ways to improve the quantitative model, and better understand how community context shapes the acculturation process. Quantitative analyses resulted in a statistically significant interaction between parenting support and place. This suggested that parenting support served as a buffer against the negative effects of place on parent confidence in newly settled areas, whereas in established areas parent confidence remained high regardless of levels of parenting support. Qualitative analyses supported quantitative findings, but also revealed that factors such as work-family conflict, childhood risk, and assimilation also played a role in shaping parent confidence. Furthermore, the data suggested that although residence in newly settled areas was often associated with acculturative stress resulting from marginalization, residence in established destinations also produced acculturative stress related to assimilation. An important contribution of this study is that it emphasizes the importance of using mixed methods with a population such as low-income Mexican immigrants, both by revealing limitations of survey-based research and demonstrating that qualitative methods can improve the richness of the results. This study also provides suggestions of additional factors that may help future studies gain a more complete understanding of the parenting experience of low-income Mexican immigrant mothers. Furthermore, this study also emphasizes the importance of recognizing that acculturative stress occurs in both newly settled and established destinations, but may take different forms.

▼ For most of the past two centuries, the rural South has been home to a population almost entirely composed of European and African Americans. However, during the last decades of the twentieth century a new population arrived as increasing numbers of Mexican heritage people found work and settled in the rural South. Many were drawn to rural southeast Georgia by migratory agricultural work in Vidalia onion production and subsequently settled in the area when they found year-round wage labor in the fields, chicken plants, and small industries of the region. With each year more Mexican heritage people have been drawn to and have settled in southeast Georgia. As a result, the demographics of the Vidalia area are dramatically changing. The Mexican heritage presence in the schools and communities of this region presents new challenges and opportunities for local educators and their students. This dissertation examines the life stories of ten exceptional Mexican heritage women who were pioneers, twice-over, in the schools of the Vidalia onion region. The women were among the first Mexican heritage students in the local schools. Later, each of the women returned to the local schools to work as bilingual and bicultural educators, most often as paraprofessional teacher aides and tutors. Usually they were the only Latinos and only Spanish-speakers on the staff of the schools that employed them. Through an interpretation of these women’s longitudinal experiences as double pioneers in the schools of southeast Georgia this dissertation documents how their lives, identities, and work have been shaped by a number of significant and recurrent themes: the trials and gauntlets they faced in their pasts; particular turning points that allowed them to escape migrancy and become educators; the promise of their present lives; controversial issues regarding power, race, class, and gender; and ideas for a better future. Based upon these themes, this dissertation concludes with a number of recommendations for educational policy and practice and proposals for future research regarding Mexican heritage education in the rural South.

▼ This dissertation investigates how Spanish-language television networks in the United States represent Latino women and how women from Latino heritage evaluate those portrayals. Facing a paucity of studies about Spanish television programming and the Latino television audience in general, this project constitutes an early step in understanding how a particular group of immigrants and U.S.-born Latinas interact with their own ethnic media. This is a twofold study that focuses on the talk shows El Show de Cristina and Laura en América broadcast by Univision and Telemundo respectively, and on the narratives of 27 women interviewed in the city of Austin, Texas, between 1999-2002. The main objective of the analysis is to see how the categories of gender, race, ethnicity and class are enacted in the television text and in the audience responses. The research is informed by a theoretical blend of feminism, critical and cultural studies, and it is also grounded in Pierre Bourdieu's theory of practice. His concept of “field” is used s a theory and as a method to understand the current economic and structural changes in what is labeled here as "the field of Latino television." The overall conclusion of the study is that Latinas have a conflicted relationship with the Spanish-language television. They like specific programming such as news and telenovelas, but they criticize other television genres such as talk shows, humor and entertainment programs and would like to see that Latino networks improve the quality of the programs and women's portrayals. Respondents contested the oversexualized representations of Latinas and criticized the violence enacted in the talk shows. They argued that the images embarrass and offend them. These findings closely follow some of the patterns found by DeSipio (1998; 1999) and Dávila (2001) in their studies of the relationship Latinos have with the Spanish language television. The violence enacted in the talk shows is theorized according to Bourdieu's theory of symbolic power. Class, in material or symbolic terms, operates as the main marker of social distance in respondents' evaluations of the talk shows. Latinas used class to distance themselves from the panelists presented in the shows, to devalue the contents offered by the networks as being directed to others, and to contest the homogeneous definition of Latinos offered by the Spanish-language television.

▼ This dissertation posits that writers can symbolically represent domestic violence to critique unjust gender relations as well as iniquitous US policy toward Mexican Americans. I use the term domestic violence because it most closely describes the double voiced discourse women engage to critique communities that condone violence against women as well as a country that perpetrates violence against Mexican Americans within its borders. Put broadly, domestic violence refers to threats of sexual, emotional, or psychological abuse within the home. Furthermore, patriarchal control over womens agency, sexuality, and mobility in turn-of-the-century texts also indicates domestic violence through social and historical conditions. Violence is especially evident throughout this project as women's rights challenge patriarchal structures and civil rights challenge racist policies. Revealing the perilous gains of women and Mexican Americans, social backlash encourages explosions of domestic violence. For this reason, each chapter explores the historical and social contexts surrounding scenes of domestic violence. Mexican American women remain tenuously between the spaces of home and nation as they experience domestic violence from state and familial institutions. Because these women are not safe within their homes, they have to participate in a broader societal push to define, describe, and defend themselves against domestic violence. Their resistance comes with a price—women, especially women of color, who resist patriarchal violence may be seen as cultural traitors, exposing their men to criticism from dominant society. The first chapter shows how women's speech both uncovers and masks narratives of domestic violence through allegory using the testimonios taken for the Bancroft project on California history. The second chapter examines how the historical romance genre incorporates scenes of domestic violence against women's protected space in the home and nation. The third chapter reveals how representations of domestic violence within Mexico reflect colonial anxieties about conquest and domestic policy. American travel writers' encounters with domestic violence in Mexico reflect the anxieties surrounding American entitlement to Mexico and the bodies of the people living there. The fourth chapter observes limitations on women's ability to leave violent situations within the home or the nation. This chapter utilizes scenes by Mexican American men, as they write about (and blame women for) domestic violence. The fifth chapter celebrates women writers' activism through literary motherwork. Though these texts, with the exception of the last chapter, precede the Chicano Movement, they are politically engaged in a struggle to define and defend la raza through their intellectual agendas.'

▼ Acculturation has been associated with health behaviors, and to a lesser extent, health outcomes among Latinos; however, inconsistencies exist regarding the nature of these relationships. Moreover, little is known about the underlying mechanisms linking acculturation to Latino health outcomes. The current study examined the relationship between acculturation, behavioral risk factors, and cardio-metabolic dysfunction in Mexican American women, and evaluated the contribution of social and economic pathways to observed associations. Participants were a random sample of 302 Mexican American women (mean age 49.77 years), recruited from communities with wide-ranging socioeconomic status (SES) located on the United States (US) side of the Tijuana (Mexico) - San Diego (US) border. Women underwent a clinical exam and completed a battery of questionnaires including demographic (age, US exposure, education, and income), cultural (language acculturation, familism, fatalism, religiosity), social (social support, sociability), and behavioral (leisure-time physical activity, sedentary behavior, walking, fruit and vegetable servings, and dietary fat) variables. Confirmatory factor analyses (CFA) and structural equation models (SEMs) were performed in the total sample. CFAs revealed single latent constructs for English language acculturation (childhood language, English proficiency, and adult language patterns), SES (education and income), resilient cultural values (familism and religiosity), and social resources (social support and sociability). SEMs showed statistically significant direct effects of English language acculturation to more sedentary behavior and resilient cultural values to more self-reported walking. In addition, the indirect effects of US exposure to more sedentary behavior through language acculturation, English language acculturation to more sedentary behavior through SES, and resilient cultural values to more fruit and vegetable servings through social resources were also significant (CFI = 0.90, RMSEA = .10, SRMR = 0.04). Finally, significant mediated effects were found for English language acculturation to lower cardio-metabolic dysfunction via higher SES, and higher SES to lower cardio -metabolic dysfunction via lower fatalism (CFI= .89, RMSEA = .11, SRMR = .04). Behavioral variables did not appear to mediate the acculturation and cardio-metabolic dysfunction relationship. Acculturation and related cultural variables were associated with behavioral risk factors and cardio- metabolic dysfunction in middle-aged Mexican American women. SES and social resources may represent relevant pathways in explaining these associations
