{"product_id":"chapultepec-girls-1","title":"Chapultepec Girls","description":"Chapultepec Girls weaves together threads of cultural, intellectual, and social history to examine how girls articulated a unique and previously unacknowledged vision of Mexican American culture and politics distinct from—and in some cases directly oppositional to—the political cultures of adult male-led Mexican organizations. Through a vivid microhistory of Club Feminino Chapultepec, a Houston-based organization, this book identifies Mexican American girls’ radical politics in manifestos, speeches, organized labor actions, as well as in the choreography of folk-dance expositions, the planning of enchilada dinner fundraisers and birthday party entertainment, and in the contours of everyday working-class life. Chapultepec Girls reinterprets pochitas not as culturally delinquent or even passive victims but as a social and political vanguard, embedded within a sprawling, transnational web of activists, scholars, and political organizations that stretched from New York City to Mexico City and beyond.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57536455180661,"sku":"9780520428386","price":25.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/chapultepec-girls-1","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
