After settling in the U.S., they had to adjust to the harsh environment, poor working conditions, and multiple discrimination in Anglo-American society. Also, many Chicanas suffered from religious and patriarchal violence inside their community. This thesis examines different types of violence against Chicana/o migrants in the U.S. from 1950 to 2000, including economic violence, religious violence, racial discrimination, and sexual violence. In both Chicana/o community and white society, Chicanas/os have to deal with different kinds of violence against them.      Here, I focus on three novels--Helena Mar\u00eda Viramontes's <italic> Under the Feet of Jesus</italic>, Ana Castillo's <italic>So Far from God</italic>, and Emma P\u00e9rez's <italic> Gulf Dreams</italic>--and analyze different kinds of violence against Chicana/o migrants respectively. I argue that how multiple discrimination intersect to result in the inferiority and marginalization of Chicana/o migrants. Furthermore, I investigate the protagonists' response to the violence in the novels and how they subvert established racial, sexual, and classist ideologies in the male-dominated community and U.S. white society."},{"label":"dcterms.available","value":"2017-09-20T16:52:13Z"},{"label":"dcterms.contributor","value":"Forbis, Melissa"},{"label":"dcterms.creator","value":"YEN, TZU-LING"},{"label":"dcterms.dateAccepted","value":"2017-09-20T16:52:13Z"},{"label":"dcterms.dateSubmitted","value":"2017-09-20T16:52:13Z"},{"label":"dcterms.description","value":"Department of Comparative Literature."},{"label":"dcterms.extent","value":"120 pg."},{"label":"dcterms.format","value":"Monograph"},{"label":"dcterms.identifier","value":"http://hdl.handle.net/11401/77220"},{"label":"dcterms.issued","value":"2014-12-01"},{"label":"dcterms.language","value":"en_US"},{"label":"dcterms.provenance","value":"Made available in DSpace on 2017-09-20T16:52:13Z (GMT).
