  • Identity Formation and Latina Representation in Young Adult
    Navigating Borders: Identity Formation and Latina Representation in Young Adult Literature Thesis Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Carol Isabel Padilla, B.A. in English Graduate Program in Education Teaching and Learning The Ohio State University 2017 Thesis Committee: Michelle Ann Abate, Advisor Ruth Lowery Copyrighted by Carol Isabel Padilla 2017 Abstract According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the Latinx population has become the largest minority group in the United States, at seventeen percent of the population in 2014. While young adult literature featuring Latinx young adult has grown in the past couple of years, there is still a need for representation, especially young adult Latina protagonists. The representation of Latinas in young adult literature has begun to grow, portraying the multiple layers and challenges Latina young women face in their formation of identities encased by the ruptures created by their surrounding environments in their cultural identity, gender and sexual identity, and social identities. Furthermore, the exploration and formation of identity in young adults is not only influenced by their exposure to media and books, but also, their understanding of current discourses and stereotypes and the ways that these are problematic. This research seeks to open conversations about Latina representation in young adult literature, as well as analyze the way these representations can be explored through the lens of Gloria Anzaldúa’s borderlands. The lack of focus on young adult Latinas in both young adult publishing trends as well as scholarship calls attention as to why most of these discourses go unnoticed or unmoved.

The name has been synonymous with Chicago for decades, during the 21 years Richard J. served as mayor, and during the 21 years his son, Richard M., has been the leader of the city. The Daley era, however, is set to end May 16, 2011, when a new mayor is crowned, and Daley retires. At that point, Daley will have served the city 22 years and 22 days, while his father made it to 21 years and eight HOWARD BROWN months. Daley sat down recently with Windy City Times to discuss his MOVING AHEAD relationship to the city’s LGBT community. Daley’s bold and brash style has angered some, pleased others, and PAGE 6 overall helped lead Chicago out of the Council Wars of the 1980s and into a more civil city of the 1990s and 2000s. But not all has been perfect, with critics upset over his handling of education, crime, police brutality and, especially in recent years, the selling off of valuable city assets, such as parking meters, and using those revenues for short-term gain.

Signed declaration _________________________________ Date __________________________ 2 Abstract This thesis examines the notion of misdirection and queer women of colour representation in contemporary fiction and graphic narratives. Its aim is to analyse the gaps in discursive debates that overlook or minimise queer women of colour subjectivities. In so doing, it develops new lines of critical enquiry that bring into dialogue recurring themes of race, gender, class, homophobia, sexual violence and trauma. The thesis discusses five texts published between 1982 and 2008, opening up critical pathways into the interrogation of intersecting oppressions that limit and/or completely eradicate the voices and realities of queer women of colour. Developing the notion of misdirection as both an analytical and performative tool that problematises ‘difference’, this thesis shows that through contemporary framings, queer women of colour representation in literary fiction and comics/graphic narratives can be liberated from the cultural hegemony of white- centric paradigms.

Saberes coloniales y los problemas de la evangelización en la región andina. Madrid: Iberoamericana/Vervuert, 2018. 237 pp. ISBN 9788-4169-2290-1. Nogar, Anna M. Quill and Cross in the Borderlands: Sor María de Ágreda and the Lady in Blue, 1628 to the Present. Notre Dame, IN: U of Notre Dame P, 2018. ix-xv + 457 pp. ISBN 9780-2681-0213-5. In El símbolo católico indiano (1598) de Luís Jerónimo de Oré. Saberes coloniales y los problemas de la evangelización en la región andina (2018), Catalina Andrango-Walker establishes Oré’s Símbolo as an overlooked yet valuable resource on early modern viceregal Perú. In four chapters, she considers the Símbolo as a response to the Third Lima Council (1582-1583) and José de Acosta’s Historia natural y moral (1590), and its intertextuality with other contemporary and classical texts. In addition, she examines Oré’s didactic strategies for converting the natives, pointing out how he uses this evangelical pedagogy to covertly criticize aspects of viceregal political and ecclesiastic administration. But whereas Latin Americanists have understood the Símbolo as merely another catechization manual, Andrango-Walker rescues its contributions to pre-Hispanic and colonial Andean history and geography, largely by underscoring Oré’s claim that evangelization efforts in Perú were ineffective due to administrative corruption and bureaucratic inefficacy rather than the natives’ alleged savagery and lack of civilization. Consequently, Andrango-Walker’s analysis reveals more broadly “la identidad del criollo en pleno proceso de construcción” (194).
