Winner of the 2014 NACCS Tejas NonFiction Book AwardThis interdisciplinary study explores how US Mexicana and Chicana authors and artists across different historical periods and regions use domestic space to actively claim their own histories. Through negotiationa concept that accounts for artistic practices outside the duality of resistance/accommodationand selffashioning, Marci R. McMahon demonstrates how the very sites of domesticity are used to engage the many political and recurring debates about race, gender, and immigration affecting Mexicanas and Chicanas from the early twentieth century to today.Domestic Negotiations covers a range of archival sources and cultural productions, including the selffashioning of the chili queens of San Antonio, Texas, Jovita Gonzlezs romance novel Caballero, the home economics career and cookbooks of Fabiola Cabeza de Baca, Sandra Cisneross purple house controversy and her acclaimed text The House on Mango Street, Patssi Valdezs selffashioning and performance of domestic space in Asco and as a solo artist, Diane Rodrguezs performance of domesticity in Hollywood television and direction of domestic roles in theater, and Alma Lpezs digital prints of domestic labor in Los Angeles. With intimate close readings, McMahon shows how Mexicanas and Chicanas shape domestic space to construct identities outside of gendered, racialized, and xenophobic rhetoric.
