  • Helen Hunt Jackson
    Helen Hunt Jackson By: Ashlyn Hauser American poet and writer, Helen Hunt Jackson, is currently making history with her recent non-fiction book, Century of Dishonor. Her book covers all the terrible injustices the ​ ​ Native Americans had to face with America from the time the revolution took place to 1881 when she published the book. After publishing, she sent a copy to every member in Congress, which called attention to the affairs, causing the creation of the Dawes Act in 1887, an act that separated members of a tribe into individuals. Later, in 1884, Helen Hunt published her second book, Ramona, a romance novel about ​ ​ an orphaned Native American girl and a wealthy owner of a sheep ranch. Although it sounds sweet, the novel emphasizes the government’s mistreatment of the Native Americans after the Mexican-American wars in South Carolina. Born on October 15, 1830, in Amherst, Massachusetts, Helen Fiske was born into a rich and religious family, her father being a professor. She was well educated, better than most women of her time, having been exposed to mathematics, science, and philosophy. As a child, she was described as a high-spirited, and fun-loving child; however, Helen ended up having a difficult childhood, for she was orphaned at 14 from the death of her mother through tuberculosis when Helen was 11, and her father dying only three years later. In 1852, Helen Fiske married Edward Bissell Hunt, a mechanical engineer in the U.S. Army. His constant changes in stations gave her the chance to connect with many writiers of her time.

Navarro Department of Political Science and Geography University of Texas at San Antonio 6900 North Loop 1604 West San Antonio, Texas 78249 [email protected] 210-458-2549 Prepared for delivery at the Conference on “Latino Politics: The State of the Discipline,” Texas A&M University, College Station, TX, April 30 – May 1, 2003. DRAFT—DO NOT CITE WITHOUT THE PERMISSION OF THE AUTHORS—DRAFT Fraga and Navarro 1 Our discussion of Latinas in Latino politics classifies the literature into two major analytical categories. The first category identifies largely descriptive differences between Latino men and Latinas.1 The differences focus on the traditional dimensions of political analysis including public opinion, political participation with special emphasis on organizational leadership, and electoral representation. The second category we term prescriptive possibilities. This literature focuses on Latina feminist writings and emerging models of Latina legislative leadership. Unlike the first category noted above, these literatures explicitly develop understandings of the transformative, i.e., institution changing, potential of news ways of conceptualizing the interests of Latino communities and developing strategies of policy advocacy built on the interest intersectionality of Latinas in the American polity. It is this later category that we find the most intellectually rich and most likely to affect the future practice(s) of Latino politics, and especially the role of Latinas in that Latino politics.

  • Los Días Pasados
    Kropp_Text.qxd 11/9/05 11:25 AM Page 19 chapter 1 Los Días Pasados Tales from Nineteenth-Century California The genesis of Anglo fascination with the Spanish pasts of Southern California arguably was the publication of Ramona in 1884. Helen Hunt Jackson’s melodramatic romance about an Indian Cinderella painted the region’s past as a sublime historical narrative—tragic, breathtaking, luxurious, and intimate. Readers were enthralled. Ramona became the most famous fiction work about Southern Califor- nia and a national bestseller, inspiring countless fans to visit the book’s picturesque setting. In the 1880s and 1890s California tourists carried their copies of Ramona along with their Baedeker travel guides. With the New Englander Jackson as a guide, wealthy easterners spent many a winter tramping up and down the landscape looking for the sites and characters of the story.1 With the onslaught of these Ramona seekers, the transformation of Southern California’s memory began. The romance-starved Americans from the East set about resurrecting the forgotten past and refashioning Southern California’s history and land- scape. Or so goes the conventional wisdom.2 However potent, Ramona was neither the first attempt to romanti- cize Southern California nor the last word on the region. Anglos did not have the first claim on an idyllic vision of the Spanish past, nor was this past an abandoned idea they suddenly rediscovered. In fact, Jackson herself relied upon earlier retellings by Californios, whose own ideal- ized construction of los días pasados, bygone days, was an altered inter- pretation of the past.3 These Spanish speakers’ nostalgia for pregringo 19 Kropp_Text.qxd 11/9/05 11:25 AM Page 20 20 Locating the Past times was itself a response to witnessing their own decline and dispos- session since the loss of the Mexican-American War, with Anglos treat- ing their presence and past on the land largely as obstacles to onrushing progress.
