The narrative’s privileging of the multiple perspectives of the four sisters—Yolanda, Sofia, Carla, and Sandra—has resulted in literary analysis of the novel focusing on the gendered experience of immigration and exile from a women’s perspective. Among this female-dominated household, however, stands the family patriarch, Carlos Garcia, who also experiences the economic and cultural transition as a political exile from the Dominican Republic to the United States. In the Dominican Republic, he was the patriarch of a prominent elite family. In the United States, he experiences downward economic mobility and becoming dependent on the good graces of white Americans. While he endures the cultural and economic shifts that transpire as a result of migration, he also experiences challenges to his Dominican masculinity, which is primarily defined through honor, economic status, and policing of women’s sexuality. While race, class, and gender power dynamics intersect in Carlos Garcia’s experience, having at times emasculating effects, Alvarez resists representing him as a victim. By providing historical context to his (re)negotiations of masculinity, Alvarez provides a nuanced representation allowing for agency. This paper analyzes the changing role of Carlos Garcia in How the Garcia Girls Lost Their Accents, and its relationship to ideologies of masculinity in the United States and the Dominican Republic influenced by the imperial relationship between the two countries.","PeriodicalId":46007,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers-A Journal of Women Studies","volume":"43 1","pages":"106 - 88"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2022-04-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41428229","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Chicana and Latina legislators in this article centered their lived experiences as lenses to frame policy priorities, critique neoliberal policies, and counter deficient-oriented policy narratives about Chicana/o and Latina/o communities. Within the boundaries of political control and contestation, the women embraced their nuanced representations, experiences, and identities and thus created policies to serve their low-income, Latina/o, and immigrant constituents in three distinct ways: (1) naming hegemonic dominance in politics; (2) championing feminist policies; and (3) centering their lived and others’ experiences through storytelling and theorizing to inform their policy ways of knowing.","PeriodicalId":46007,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers-A Journal of Women Studies","volume":"43 1","pages":"1 - 27"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2022-04-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47657024","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One of the most interesting roles within the diverse female ensemble of the show is Galina “Red” Reznikov (Kate Mulgrew). She starts off as the prison chef and a respected mother figure for the young, white inmates as the audience accompanies her in a journey that includes competition for leadership, banishment, negotiation, bartering, disappointment, self-reinvention, revenge, and resistance to personal degradation. Today’s media are dominated by the cult of youth and to unrealistic canons of beauty and behavior that particularly impinge on women. In OITNB, Jenji Kohan partially resists the mainstream narrative and offers the possibility of a counter-discourse about aging female figures through some of her characters, most particularly Red. In this paper we dissect Red’s evolution with an intersectional feminist approach, to try and demonstrate that Kohan devises the storylines of OITNB within a timidly changing panorama for elderly female characters, making a limited but relevant contribution to the dismantling of static age profiling and negative gender stereotyping.","PeriodicalId":46007,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers-A Journal of Women Studies","volume":"43 1","pages":"107 - 138"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2022-04-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42579219","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Many scholars have recognized the extent to which an anti-feminist countermovement led by the False Memory Syndrome Foundation stymied the gains of child sexual abuse survivor activists. But we have not yet examined the ways other opponents of feminism and lesbian feminism, in particular, weaponized child sexual abuse survivors' narratives in order to delegitimate lesbian identity. This latter response to the child sexual abuse survivors' movement was perhaps even more dangerous and effective in resisting feminist demands than the false memory movement's rejection. Embracing aspects of feminists' analyses of childhood sexual abuse crucially enabled Christian ex-gay and ex-lesbian leaders to portray their approach to sexual conversion as based in love, concern, and support for homosexuals and to frame lesbians as wounded, sympathetic, and in need of help. By couching their messages of conversion in therapeutic language that echoed earlier feminist arguments, ex-gay leaders increased the appeal and accessibility of their texts. As struggles against sexual violence have recently achieved a tremendous degree of public visibility, this history serves as a timely and sobering reminder that testimonies of sexual violence can serve conservative as well as liberating political purposes.","PeriodicalId":46007,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers-A Journal of Women Studies","volume":"43 1","pages":"1 - 31"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2022-02-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48305908","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

My article traces the circuitous route to the United States of Zeinab Ameen, a Syrian migrant in Detroit who became entangled in the investigation of her ex-husband's murder in 1932. Ameen was tried for his murder with Louis Gross, a Jewish peddler and outsider to their tight-knit Syrian community. Gross was charged with the murder, but later exonerated. The press coverage of the trial and the exoneration hinged first on notions of Jewish criminality, then on Jewish exceptionalism, but always on static notions of a corrupted Muslim community and in particular Ameen's sexual deviance within it. I contend that the sites that structured migration for Zeinab policed and produced gendered and sexual relations which were then mystified through notions of culture and civic \"fitness,\" and painted her and her community as unfit and corrupted citizens. Connecting state and popular archival documents in Lebanon, France, and the United States, I analyze the case not through its (mis)readings of an \"Oriental\" culture, but rather as part of material consequences of migration. Understanding how migration forced Zeinab into vulnerable relations that were rearticulated through cultural signifiers presents a new genealogy of American Orientalism, and locates borders as productive spaces for gender and sexuality in the United States.","PeriodicalId":46007,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers-A Journal of Women Studies","volume":"43 1","pages":"120 - 144"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2022-02-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44653251","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Within this context, reproductive rights, health, and justice advocates had to respond creatively and forcefully, sometimes utilizing tactics that involved strategic compromises to accomplish their goals. This essay examines the politics of compromise occurring within contemporary fights for equitable access to comprehensive sexual health education and contraception. Analyzing news media and public policy in relation to these advocacy efforts, this essay illustrates that arguments made for sex education in the name of preventing teen pregnancy and for long-acting, reversible contraceptives in the name of preventing abortion undermine the goal of reproductive self-determination. These arguments reinforce notions that have long plagued advocacy for sex education and birth control in the United States—that certain people are illegitimate reproducers and that specific reproductive options are intolerable. As such, these strategic compromises often support the directing of resources toward programs that constrain, rather than enable, reproductive freedom for all people.","PeriodicalId":46007,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers-A Journal of Women Studies","volume":"43 1","pages":"68 - 92"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2022-02-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42879581","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, depending on the reader's perspective, Hitchcock's employment of misogynist elements in his works can be read as a tactical strategy to reveal and challenge phallocentric ideologies. Hence, this paper presents the perspective that Hitchcock's Marnie (1964), one of Hitchcock's most controversial works, which portrays the male protagonist's patriarchal violence against an unstable, mysterious, and potentially dangerous woman who refuses to remain an exchangeable property between men, is revealing, rather than appropriating, sexism and misogyny, the normative patriarchal privileges. In attempting to reread Hitchcock's Marnie as a feminist text, this paper highlights the fact that Marnie makes an issue of misogynistic sexual politics, paradoxically, by obviously dramatizing them. In particular, noting that Hitchcock interrogates the \"woman\" within misogynistic contexts or frames, this paper attempts to elaborate on how the main female character of Marnie can be regarded as positively subversive, particularly in feminist Deleuzian terms. In order to read Marnie as the hysteric and a nomadic subject, a subversive and transgressive character who performs Deleuzian \"becoming-woman,\" this study examines how Marnie attempts and struggles to escape from the hegemonic patriarchal domination of striated space by drawing lines of flight.","PeriodicalId":46007,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers-A Journal of Women Studies","volume":"43 1","pages":"185 - 207"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2022-02-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47962116","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In Latin America, Black and postcolonial feminists and researchers adhered to the critical subaltern perspective have turned this reflection into a methodological, theoretical, and political imperative, highlighting the need to change the places of enunciation of patriarchal asymmetries to identify their persistence in different corners of social life. However, there are many spaces where the reproduction of these inequalities continues to operate in a naturalized way: the world of academic and university research is, contradictorily, one of them. In recent years, we have collected stories and shared experiences with research colleagues and teaching staff from different countries who have been subjected to sexual harassment, threats, discrimination, and gender violence. Some of these situations take place at work; others invade family and domestic environments, evidencing that the violent imprint of patriarchy persists and reproduces itself transversally, even among those professionals dedicated to the social critique of these problems. The present article covers these narratives to reflect on the place of epistemic enunciation that researchers use when we dedicate ourselves to study gender violence.
