Thank You

This project was part of my MFA thesis at San Diego State University (2014). There, I want to thank John Putman, Roberto Hernández, Richard Keely, Irene Lara, and my thesis chair, Kim Stringfellow. And of course, none of this would have been possible without those who participated, a million thanks.

Funding for project was made possible by the Clara De Escudero Scholarship in Chicano Studies.
