Fernandez Washington 0250E ©Copyright 2019 Angela R. Fernandez “Wherever I Go, I Have It Inside of Me”: Indigenous Cultural Dance as a Transformative Place of Health and Prevention for Members of an Urban Danza Mexica Community Angela R. Fernandez A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2019 Reading Committee: Tessa Evans-Campbell, Chair Karina Walters, Chair Ramona Beltran Susan Kemp Program Authorized to Offer Degree: School of Social Work University of Washington Abstract “Wherever I Go, I Have It Inside of Me”: Indigenous Cultural Dance as a Transformative Place of Health and Prevention for Members of an Urban Danza Mexica Community Angela R. Fernandez Chairs of the Supervisory Committee: Professor Karina L. Walters, PhD Associate Professor Tessa Evans-Campbell, PhD School of Social Work Background and Purpose: In 2012 the U.S. Census Bureau used “Mexican American Indian” (MAI) as a new category to describe people with ancestry from Indigenous groups of Mexico. This census category comprises the fourth largest Indigenous population group in the United States and encompasses a vastly diverse, complex, and intersectional population, for which there is little empirical health research. Many Indigenous scholars and community members cite involvement in place- and settings-based cultural and spiritual practices as potentially protective in reducing health risks and promoting well-being. The aim of this study is to understand the role of participation in cultural dance as a potential protective place for reducing alcohol and other drug abuse (AOD) and HIV risk, and for promoting overall health among a sample of people from an Urban Danza Mexica Community (UDMC). Narrative, as storytelling, is a powerful medium of communication with the potential to uncover important risk and protective factors among Indigenous communities globally. Methods: This study is a secondary data analysis (n = 12; 9 included in the final analysis) of a larger qualitative AOD and HIV prevention study with UDMC in the Pacific Northwest (n = 21). The larger pilot study uses a community based participatory research approach to assess AOD, HIV and overall health needs through in-depth interviews. This secondary analysis introduces the decolonizing narratives of health (DNOH) model, developed by the author as an innovative, relational, analytic framework that places Indigenous stories in relationship to their context across 3 distinct yet interconnected levels—the personal, the communal, and Indigeneity in the larger world. These levels of narrative analysis function as culturally grounded, relational pathways through which to articulate health prevention and promotion methods. The sample of 9 participants identified ancestry among 4 Indigenous groups from across Mexico. Their ages were evenly distributed across younger and older adult cohorts (18+) with education levels from 0-8th grade, to graduate/professional degrees. Five participants self-identified as cisgender female, and 4 as cisgender male. Among the 9, one participant identified as cisgender two-spirit. Results: The DNOH model’s narratives delve into the complex and nuanced relationships within participants’ internal worlds (personal), between themselves and their danza community (communal), and between themselves and their overall Indigenous identity within society (Indigeneity). Participants use narrative as a mechanism for resistance to colonial assaults and transmission of ancestral teachings about health and prevention. While marginalization of their intersectional identities is an ongoing challenge, participants within the danza circle use narratives to create spaces wherein they navigate complex conversations that resist oppression, reconnect with and strengthen their Indigenous identities, and strive toward ancestral visions of health and well-being. Conclusion and Implications: This study contributes to Indigenized theoretical and methodological expansion, and to the development of place/settings-based, narrative cultural health interventions aimed at decreasing health risks and promoting wellness among populations similar to UDMC. Identifying protective places and spaces that foster distinct pathways for decolonizing narratives helps increase understanding of its role in preventing health risk behaviors and promoting overall health and well-being among Indigenous Peoples.

Both pieces of legislation entered the public sphere and stimulated debates on immigration, as cleavages within and among the Democrats and Republicans surfaced and opposition turned into highly publicized events.

  • Mexicanidad: the Resurgence of the Indian in Popular Mexican
    'MEXICANIDAD' THE RESURGENCE OF THE INDIAN IN POPULAR MEXICAN NATIONALISM 'Mexicanidad' is not so much a struggle for mainstream political power as a proto-nationalistic 'indianist' movement, whose supporters are predominantly socially marginalized young males of Mexico City (and elsewhere). The paper explores how the actors, by articulating meanings taken from the pre-colonial past in processes of socio-symbolic elaboration, are creating new identities for themselves with which to challenge, performatively, the priorities of the state.

Photographs of them appear in daily newspapers dressed in Aztec style costumes, crowned by exuberant feather headdresses with seed rattles tied around their ankles. This is how they accoutre themselves to espouse the cause of mexicanidad, as their movement is called, by means of which they contest their present situation and are articulating a discourse about a possible future. The occasions at which such pictures are taken are indicative of what the Mexica conceive of as central to their representations of 'indianity': some are of ceremonies to glorify Aztec culture heroes, a few of events for causes related to the indigenous peoples of Mexico but more are of ritual dances performed on significant dates in the Aztec calender backed by a mythology that they are currently elaborating.

    RAMIREZ, LOURDES, M.A. Alfonso Cuarón’s Problematic Portrayal of Female Figures in Y tu mamá también and Roma. (2020) Directed by Dr. Laura Chesak. 61 pp. The purpose of this work is to analyze the problematic portrayal of female figures in two Mexican films by Alfonso Cuarón: Y tu mamá también (2001) and Roma (2018). I will examine how Cuarón shapes and presents his female characters’ identities as they attempt to emancipate themselves and self-actualize from the hold imposed on them due to societal constraints, such as stereotypical gender roles, class differences, and the domestic spaces that they inhabit. In order to establish this connection, I have supported my work with Laura Mulvey’s male gaze theory and Kimberlé Crenshaw’s intersectional feminism. While Cuarón is known for his feminist filmography, this critique will offer a different take on his female figures to identify the problematic ways in which he has represented them.

  • Mexican Philosophical Thought on Race and Revolution
    Copyright By Elías Medina 2019 The Cosmic Race, Decolonization, and Neo-Zapatismo: Mexican Philosophical Thought on Race and Revolution By Elías Medina, B.A. A Thesis Submitted to the Department of History California State University Bakersfield In Partial Fulfillment for the Degree of Master of Arts in History 2019 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to thank my professor and mentor, Dr. Stephen Allen, for guiding me throughout this two-year project. I owe my research and organization strategies to him. Likewise, I thank my other two mentors, Dr. Kate Mulry and Dr. Cliona Murphy, for taking a look at my work before its submission. I would also like to thank Octavio Barajas for directing me to some of the most crucial sources that I relied on for this project. I thank him for our discussions, which inspired some of my best ideas. I thank Miguel Cuate Jr. for helping me edit this paper. I am grateful for his time and his feedback. Finally, I would like to thank my parents, Manuel and Alma Medina, for their patience and encouragement, not just throughout this endeavor, but throughout my academic career. ABSTRACT This thesis project will argue that the participation of indigenous Mexicans in the Revolution of 1910 and the EZLN uprising of 1994 forced José Vasconcelos, Leopoldo Zea, and Enrique Dussel to reflect on the legacies of Mexico’s colonial past in order to propose how such peoples would form a part of modern Mexican society and identity. Vasconcelos proposed the idea of the cosmic race to encourage indigenous assimilation. Although Zea was a decolonial thinker, he too encouraged indigenous assimilation.
