Hernandez, Ebelia
Journal of Higher Education, v84 n3 p397-416 May-Jun 2013
This article offers a historical analysis of documents and narratives from Mexican American women that reflect the tumultuous 1990s at Indiana University. Their recollections reveal how they became activists, the racist incidents that compelled them into activism, and the racial tensions and backlash towards identity politics felt by students of color across the country at that time. (Contains 5 notes.)
