In Search of Belonging : Latinas, Media, and Citizenship EPUB
by Baez Jillian M Baez
Part of the Latinos in Chicago and Midwest series
EPUB
Description
In Search of Belonging explores the ways Latina/o audiences in general, and women in particular, make sense of and engage both mainstream and Spanish-language media. Jillian M. Baez's eye-opening ethnographic analysis draws on the experiences of a diverse group of Latinas in Chicago. In-depth interviews reveal Latinas viewing media images through a lens of citizenship. These women search for nothing less than recognition-and belonging-through representations of Latinas in films, advertising, telenovelas, and TV shows like Ugly Betty and Modern Family. Baez's personal interactions and research merge to create a fascinating portrait, one that privileges the perspectives of the women themselves as they consume media in complex, unpredictable ways.
Innovative and informed by a wealth of new evidence, In Search of Belonging answers important questions about the ways Latinas perform citizenship in today’s America.
