Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Chicana is a 1979 short film (23 minutes) directed by Sylvia Morales.It is a documentary about the history of, you guessed it, Chicanas in the Americas. The film begins with an overview of Aztec and pre-Columbian culture, and how native societies were based on matriarchal culture and worshipped strong feminine goddesses. Then the Spanish arrive in the 16th century, crush the Americas under a patriarchal and Catholic boot, and substitute veneration of the Virgin Mary for the worship of traditional goddesses. Chicana women are exploited as manual labor, deprived of rights and education. Yet still they struggle, fighting against the Spanish, fighting in the Mexican wars of the early 20th century, demanding their rights and independence, and being crucial to the growing labor movement. | |

Book Burning: Only symbolically. But the segment discussing Sister Juana Inés de la Cruz, a Mexican nun who wrote about the rights of women, ends by explaining that the Church forced her to stop writing and made her sell her books. Then there's a shot of flames leaping up. | |

Chickification: Discussed Trope, as the film explains how the Spanish, when they imposed Catholicism in the Americas, replaced worship of "the Indian goddess of creation, death, pain, and abundance" with veneration of the Virgin Mary, a symbol of motherhood and nurturing that fit right in with the patriarchy. | |

Ethnic Menial Labor: Discussed Trope. Much of the latter portion of the film talks about how the industrialization of Mexico and the southwestern U.S. led to native women being pressed into service in factories at poverty-level wages, when they weren't being employed at picking fruit in the fields. Chicanas help organize the United Farm Workers in order to stop their exploitation. | |
