\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Today we talk about Chicana feminism almost exclusively in the academy,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Maria Cotera told an audience in Margaret Jacks Hall, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153but in the 1970s, it was happening in the streets.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n

The goal of Cotera\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s ambitious online archive project, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Chicana por mi Raza,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d is to recapture the once vibrant movement for the social, political, and economic justice of Mexican American, Chicana, and Hispanic women in the United States. When it launches later this year, the website will house a rich archive documenting the development of Chicana feminist thought and action from 1960 to 1990. The efforts of her and of the project\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s co-founder, Linda Garcia Merchant, have amassed thousands of newspapers, reports, leaflets, out-of-print books, pieces of correspondence, and oral histories, most of which have been missing from mainstream archives.<\/p>\n

Silence of the archive <\/em>
\nIn her recent talk, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Liberating the Feminist Archive: Mapping Chicana Feminisms in the Digital Age,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Cotera, Associate Professor at the University of Michigan, previewed some materials from the database. She hopes that the site will \u00e2\u20ac\u0153bring the history of Chicana feminism to a whole new audience, from public school educators to college students to established scholars.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n
