Product Information

In the deductive analysis, a rubric of a priori codes was derived from their (a) cultural perspectives, (b) identity awareness, and the four tenets sexual minorities consistently experience which included: (c) alienation, (d) social exclusion, (e) disclosure, and (f) self-acceptance of a non-heterosexual identity. Aguilar incorporated writing into her art even as her reading problems made her feel “inadequate” and suicidal; this choice creates tension and even mystery in her work.

In the style of Anzaldua and Moraga, this is another book which celebrates bilingualism and has essays in English and Spanish, without translations, by the way.The study concluded that while Latina lesbian students struggle to reconcile their Latina and lesbian identities, their experiences at a HSI can be a source of challenge or support in their overall well-being and identity development.

I wasn’t sure what to expect when I saw that Netflix had dropped the second season of Never Have I Ever,the comedy-drama series created by The Office veteran Mindy Kaling and based on her childhood in Boston. Aguilar’s torment certainly did not come solely from reading problems, but also from her poverty and health. With SAAM’s recent Laura Aguilar acquisitions, visitors and scholars will have a unique opportunity to experience the many pivotal contributions Aguilar’s work makes to the art world. Similarly, in 1987, with the publication of Compañeras: Latina Lesbians, Juanita Ramos initiated the transnational connections between lesbians of Latin American descent living in the United States. I tend to date girls who have that masculine quality, a more dominant personality and which would have some think that I should just be with a dude, but that’s not what I’m attracted to.

While her Latina Lesbian text evokes discomfort with her position within the queer community, she couches her portrait and her textual contribution within her predilection for play. Now somedays I find myself just standing there looking at myself naked in front of the mirror thinking, looking to find something new to photography and there come this big smile on my face and I think yes you are crazy and its ok.

True, Never Have I Ever centers East and South Asian experiences first, and deals brilliantly with themes of grief, trauma, and first love versus the right one.

Como Sabes, Depresión” is a fragment of a passionate bilingual poem written by an English-speaking poet enamored of the Spanish language, and “To Sor Juana” is a poem dedicated to the seventeenth century poet and nun who has become an icon among Latina lesbians.
