NOTES

1. This is his real name. I recently learned that Zarco was asked by a former Zapatista to do a large sculpture of the virgin and child for the lobby of an obstetrics office in Arizona.

2. Franz Fanon in Black Skin, White Masks discusses how the white woman represents “white,” upper-class culture and status to the black male.

3. Fanon, p. 63. I was first given this book to read by a Chicano friend with whom I wrestled out many of these issues of blondes and Chicanos, “The Blonde” and “The Chicano,” when I was an undergraduate at Stanford.

4. Why nationalism as counter-hegemony is usually associated with masculine imagery is an area that beckons to be analyzed, but which is beyond the scope of this project. Cynthia Enloe in Bananas, Beaches, and Bases: Making Feminist Sense of International Politics says, “… [N]ationalist movements have rarely taken women's experiences as the starting point for an understanding of how a people becomes colonized or how it throws off the shackles of that material and psychological domination. Rather, nationalism typically has sprung from masculinized memory, masculinized humiliation and masculinized hope. Anger at being “emasculated”—or turned into a nation of busboys—has been presumed to be the natural fuel for igniting a nationalist movement.” p. 44.

5. The Latinos Anonymous playwrights also played around with male body/culture images in a sketch about competing Latin styles of machismo and I believe in a few other sketches as well.

6. The following books deal with 19th-century relationships between Mexico and the United States in terms of racism: Mario Barrera, Race and Class in the Southwest: A Theory of Racial Inequality, 1979; Robert Blauner, Racial Oppression in America, 1972; Thomas R. Hietala, Manifest Design: Anxious Aggrandizement in Late Jacksonian America, 1985; Reginald Horsman, Race and Manifest Destiny: The Origins of American Racial Anglo-Saxonism, 1981; Philip W. Powell, Tree of Hate: Propaganda and Prejudices Affecting United States Relations with the Hispanic World, 1971.

7. Horsman, Race and Manifest Destiny: The Origins of American Racial Anglo-Saxonism. This is a carefully-constructed, fascinating history of the multiple intellectual and political-economic influences which went into shaping the theory of Anglo-Saxon superiority based on “race” in the mid nineteenth century.

8. Horsman 1981, Chapter 11, “Anglo-Saxons and Mexicans” and Chapter 12 “Race, Expansion, and the Mexican War,” pp. 208–248.

9. My husband urged me to point out that this is an expression used often by working-class Mexican people.

11. For a fascinating analysis of how 19th-century European racist scientific theories (including those of Freud) about “the Jew” intertwined racist and gender categories in relationship to notions about the body, see Sander Gilman's The Jew's Body, New York & London: Routledge, 1991. I suspect that “racial” theories which later developed in the United States in relation to African-Americans and Mexicans, were first shaped in terms of the Jew as “Other.”

12. In contrast, several Chicana doctors dealt with the sexism issue by joining an all
