Friday 5/23: Exam #2
As I note on the syllabus, the Exam #2 will be a lot like #1 except that there will be more essay and fewer simple recall questions. The nature of the materials covered on this exam means that you've got to have a general familiarity with the primary texts, movements, etc. in order to do well. Since there aren't a ton of terms, you'll be asked to do a lot more analysis of material. As with the last study guide, I'll update this each day before the exam....
[b][u]Study Guide[/u]:[/b]
• Hispanic vs. Latino/a vs. Chicano/a (lecture)
• Bracero Program (lecture & film #1)
• Zoot Suit Riots (lecture & Muñoz)

• What do you make of the intersection of multiple rhetorical and socio-historical traditions in Chavez?
• Confrontation tactics versus strategy of confrontation in the farm workers movement
• Compare and contrast Chavez/Farm workers and the Chicano movement (Muñoz does some, but only on a basic level)
• Compare and contrast the Plan of Delano and the Plan of Santa Barbara
• Who (of the above) is more "radical" (which is not the same as asking who is more confrontational)?
• Strategy of confrontation vs. confrontation tactics in Chicano movement
• If each of the movement groups we studied represents a different kind of constitutive rhetoric (Delgado), how would you characterize each?
• La Raza, Aztlán, Chicano as ideographs (Delgado)
