  1. The Aftermath of Colonialism By Abi Rosales

  2. thesis Spanish rule established a social hierarchy based on skin color and male female inequality- during the colonization of Mesoamerica has had a lasting effect on Chicano’s self-perception and identity.

  3. synopsis My research paper spoke of the lasting effects that Spanish colonialism its institutions have had on Chicanos. The social institutions that I focused on were the caste system and inequality of the sexes. I tried to explain how there two institutions influence the relationship between skin color and Chicanos and identity within inequality of the sexes.

  4. Research Questions • How do these relationships reflected in Latino’s internalized racism? • How does the caste system of the past influence the varying degrees of privilege people are given today? • how does inequality of the sexes limit the freedom to self identify?

  5. Relation to chicana/o studies • This institutions are at play in Chicanos lives today. It is part of the history that creates the reality Chicanos live. • Social issues that Chicanos face today are related to the actions of the past. • Revisiting the roots of these problems would allow Chicanos and Chicanas to understand their place in society more.
