Video Title:
Pachucas: How Fashion Asserts Identity | Verónica A. Méndez
Description:
In this story of pachucas we celebrate their role in the making of pachuco culture and for the ways in which their fashion stood in defiance of Mexican gender norms, second-class citizenship, and white middle-class ideas of American womanhood. Verónica A. Méndez is a curator in the Division of Military and Political History at the National Museum of American History En esta historia sobre las pachucas celebramos su papel en el desarrollo de la cultura pachuca en general y cómo su manera de vestir sirvió para desafiar las normas de género mexicanas, la percepción de ser ciudadanas de segunda clase y las nociones de femineidad de la clase media blanca estadounidense. Verónica A. Méndez es curadora en la División de Historia Militar y Política del Museo Nacional de Historia Americana. Educators! Interested in bringing the history of pachucas into your classroom?
