The University of San Francisco FOLKLÓRICO TESTIMONIOS: IDENTITY, COMMUNITY, AND AGENCY AS SOCIAL JUSTICE CULTURAL PERFORMANCE FOR DANCERS OF MEXICAN FOLKLÓRICO A Dissertation Presented to The Faculty of the School of Education International and Multicultural Education Department In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Education by Manuel Alejandro Pérez López San Francisco May 2017 ! ! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THE UNIVERSITY OF SAN FRANCISCO Dissertation Abstract Folklórico Testimonios: Identity, Community, and Agency As Social Justice Cultural Performance for Dancers of Mexican Folklórico Mexican students in higher education have few opportunities to learn about their heritage and history outside of Ethnic Studies courses. Some students seek alternative opportunities to learn about their identity and to build community with other Mexican students through folklórico. In Mexican folklórico, dancers learn the techniques and skills to communicate stories about their history, culture, and heritage through movement, song, and dance. This study is the story of Mexican students and folkloristas on their journey to (re)discover identity, community, and agency as they move through higher education. This study uses testimonio to capture the voice, the struggle, and the inspiration of Mexican students as they seek opportunities to learn about identity, community, and agency through folklórico. This study includes the testimonios of 10 folkloristas from the Sacramento, San Francisco, and San José areas of Northern California. Each of these dancers identifies as Mexican and is also a student at a college or university. The folkloristas share their stories as individual testimonios and as part of two small group testimonios, or colectivas. Each of the testimonios are analyzed through Yosso’s (2005) community cultural wealth and a hybrid of key literature about the performance of cultural memory and imagination. I refer to this framework as social justice cultural performance (Haiven and Khasnabish, 2014; Rich, 2006; Taylor, 2011). ! ii!! ! ! ! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The testimonios reveal that folklórico is a means through which dancers build a strong connection to their cultural heritage. Through this community, folkloristas develop deep bonds of kinship and familia with other dancers. In light of the shifting social and political climate in the United States, folkloristas use the performance of cultural memory, movimiento, and heritage to heal the pain of violent messages about the Mexican community. This agency is a way for folkloristas to empower and inspire their community with positive self-image and self-confidence. Lastly, this study adds to the body of research on testimonio through the addition of spatial testimonio as a new framework. Spatial testimonio moves beyond individual and collective stories to allow spaces and places to author their own stories of Truth, struggle, and resistance. ! iii! ! ! ! ! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This dissertation, written under the direction of the candidate’s dissertation committee and approved by members of the committee, has been presented to and accepted by the Faculty of the School of Education in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Education.

  • Mexican American Resource Guide: Sources of Information Relating to the Mexican American Community in Austin and Travis County
    MEXICAN AMERICAN RESOURCE GUIDE: SOURCES OF INFORMATION RELATING TO THE MEXICAN AMERICAN COMMUNITY IN AUSTIN AND TRAVIS COUNTY THE AUSTIN HISTORY CENTER, AUSTIN PUBLIC LIBRARY Updated by Amanda Jasso Mexican American Community Archivist September 2017 Austin History Center- Mexican American Resource Guide – September 2017 1 INTRODUCTION The purpose of the Austin History Center is to provide customers with information about the history and current events of Austin and Travis County by collecting, organizing, and preserving research materials and assisting in their use so that customers can learn from the community’s collective memory. The collections of the AHC contain valuable materials about Austin and Travis County’s Mexican American communities. The materials in the resource guide are arranged by collection unit of the Austin History Center. Within each collection unit, items are arranged in shelf-list order. This guide is one of a series of updates to the original 1977 version compiled by Austin History staff. It reflects the addition of materials to the Austin History Center based on the recommendations and donations of many generous individuals, support groups and Austin History Center staff. The Austin History Center card catalog supplements the Find It: Austin Public Library On-Line Library Catalog by providing analytical entries to information in periodicals and other materials in addition to listing individual items in the collection with entries under author, title, and subject. These tools lead to specific articles and other information in sources that would otherwise be very difficult to find. It must be noted that there are still significant gaps remaining in our collection in regards to the Mexican American community.

Findings indicate that the district provided full-day prekindergarten classes, innovative funds, and extra support staff, and lowered thie pupil/teacher ratio. Test scores showed improvement in priority school students' academic achievement. Other indicators of success included increased teacher attendance, favorable parent and staff attitudes, increased parent and community involvement, and implementation of a multicultural education program. Fifty-two figures are included. Attachments include a school climate/effectiveness survey, school standards reports, priority schools summaries, recommendations for student placement, discipline incidents, Adopt-A-School data, and parent survey results.
