| Abstract | In this article I argue that mothering in the home is an educational tool for creating positive self-agency in Latina girls. This essay articulates the ways in which my lived experiences as a Latina mother informs the socialization of "guerrera" girls. I engage in a process of "testimonio" to demonstrate how mothering, by using tools such as stories--"cuentos", advise--"consejos", conversations--"platicas" can create instances where learning can occur for both mother and daughter that disrupt the racist discourses Latinas face in their everyday lives. I discuss how the use of a decolonial imaginary process provides both mothers and daughters ways to re-create the daily lived experiences of marginalization so that they become instances of regenerative resistance. As a tool of Latina mothering, I propose the use of suspended spaces within moments of everyday life where individuals simultaneously suspend the social hierarchies that constrain personas to have "platicas" that promote a "guerrera" spirit. Finally, this essay is testament to the strong "guerrera" spirit Latina mothers carry and share for future generations of "guerreras". (Contains 3 footnotes.) (As Provided). |
