Latino

Latino, on the other hand, is usually used to refer to the way that Latin Americans are connected to one another via their common history of

colonization. Spaniards,

then, would not be part of this formulation, while Brazilians might.

Hispanic

Hispanic generally refers to the way that Latin Americans are united through their connection to Spain and their links to Spanish culture and

tradition. Spaniards would

be included in this formulation, but Brazilians would not.

Sandra Cisneros

"To say Latino is to say you come to my culture in a manner of respect," said Sandra Cisneros, who refuses to have her writings included in any anthology that uses the word Hispanic. "To say Hispanic means you're so colonized you don't even know for yourself or someone who named you never bothered to ask what you call yourself. It's a repulsive slave name."

How did we end up Hispanic?”

SLIDE 12

“

What’s wrong with just using Latino? It’s gender neutral.”

SLIDE 13

A gender-neutral alternative to using Latino

r Latina, but in later use has also been

adopted by or for individuals who do not identify themselves as either male or female, but rather as another or no gender, or as a combination of genders.

Vestibulum congue

Think back to how you introduced yourself at the beginning of this session. We are going to ask you to introduce yourself again but when you do, pay attention to the terms you use.

SLIDE 21

Vestibulum congue

How does it feel to “wear” those labels?
Do they roll smoothly off our your tongue
r do you stumble over them even if you

claim them?

How do the others in your group identify?
Are there similarities or differences? Notice

your reaction to the terms they use.
