   Extractions: Lorna Dee Cervantes (b. 1954) Contributing Editor: Juan Bruce-Novoa Students may object to the strident tone of "Poem for the Young White Man." Even Chicanos can get turned off by it. The feminism has the same effect on the men. Why is she so hostile toward males, they ask. Some now say that she is passé, radicalism being a thing of the sixties. I prepare the students with information on feminist issues, especially on the single-parent families, wife abuse, and child abuse. I also prepare them by talking about racial and ethnic strife as a form of warfare, seen as genocide by minority groups. I use Bernice Zamora's poetry as an introduction. Her alienation from the male rituals in "Penitents" produces the all-female family in "Beneath . . . ." The sense of living in one's own land, but under other's rules (Zamora's "On Living in Aztlán"), explains the bitterness of "Poem for the Young White Man." And both of the poets eventually find a solution in their relation to nature through animal imagery; yet just like Zamora in "Pico Blanco," Cervantes maintains an uneasy relationship with the machoworld with which women still contend.

She grew up in San Jose, speaking English exclusively. This was strictly enforced by her parents, who allowed only English to be spoken at home by her and her brother. This was to avoid the racism and genocide, which was occurring in her community at that time. Lorna Dee Cervantes is currently a professor at the University of Colorado at Boulder. She considers herself "a Chicana writer, a feminist writer, a political writer" (Cervantes). Although her literary works are held in high esteem, she often lacks self-confidence concerning her writing. The two collections of poetry

7. Chicana Poets
   Chicana Poetry Lorna Dee cervantes lorna dee Cervantes is a wellknown Chicanapoet. Emplumada was Lorna Dee Cervantes’ first published book of poetry.

   Extractions: According to Billings, early worship of the god Quezacoat established the first social order of the Aztecs in the pre-colombian era. In other words, the practice of worshipping this god by the Aztecs is how historians were able to recognize a social order. One of such may have been previously established, without recognition, and then slowly died out. The Aztec people were the dominant society of their area by the 14th Century. Their lifestyles revolved around religion and the worship of Aztec dieties. This structure provided equality in sharing between men and women. Each individual worshiped in the same ways and practiced a similar religion, regardless of gender. “Women served as priestesses in the community as well as being honored for their position as givers of life,” states Billings. It is told that a woman who dies while giving birth was revered. These women were compared to men who died in battle. In today’s world, a woman’s role as bearer of child is hardly regarded this highly. It’s almost as if women now days are simply expected to perform this fascinating task. The Aztecs were certainly ahead of their time in their ideals. Along with the conquest of Mexico in 1519 by European colonizers, the Aztec community was drastically altered. Spaniards brought with them diseases that significantly reduced the indigenous population. Land was violently pulled out from under the Aztecs, and conversion to Catholicism was enforced. This conquest changed the lives of all Aztecs, yet women felt a stronger loss. Now, with no social status, Aztec women served as slaves and whores to the Spaniards. This conquest enforced the use of subordination of women from one culture to another. It is my opinion that if more communities were left to develop on their own during these times, the stance of women in today’s world would be significantly different.

    Extractions: Yet, ethnic unity, necessary to combat anti-Chicano prejudice, demands sexual harmony, so the author synthesizes from the older generations the wisdom of female oral tradition: a balance of strength and tenderness, of openness and caution, of sincerity and reserve. Castaneda’s lesson—struggle with the enemy to turn it into your assistant—is applied to men and Nature. She learns to live with them, although never completely at ease. Survival depends on constant vigilance against betrayal, because despite the façade of peace, society and Nature are essentially a battle. Her manner of self-defense is to develop a harmonious identity through personal symbols in Nature—birds—related to a chosen cultural emphasis—the Native American element in her Mexican American past. Then she blends them into the image of her art in the metaphor of the pen through an interlingual play on words— pluma in Spanish means pen and feather, so to be
