Tocar, oler, saborear e imaginar la cultura y la experiencia chicanas: los libros ilustrados bilingües

Abstract

A raíz del movimiento de protesta por los derechos civiles que tuvo lugar en Estados Unidos en la década de los años 60, surgió el llamado el Movimiento, es decir las acciones de reivindicación de sus derechos civiles por parte de la población chicana. La aprobación de la Bilingual Education Act (1974) significó un punto de inflexión para los niños chicanos, ya que se introdujeron programas bilingües en las escuelas y la ley trajo consigo la publicación de libros bilingües que trataban cuestiones relevantes para los niños chicanos, en especial la exposición a lenguas y contextos diferentes a la prevaleciente cultura anglófona. Desde ese momento, y en especial durante los años 80 y 90 con el auge del multiculturalismo en el sector editorial, para los autores chicanos de literatura infantil ha sido importante proporcionar a los niños chicanos representaciones de su identidad y cultura a través de sus libros bilingües, de modo que los niños bilingües e inmigrantes pudieran ver su realidad reflejada en los libros que leían tanto en la lengua que se les enseñaba en la escuela, el inglés, como en la lengua que muchos de ellos hablaban en casa, el español. Mi propuesta tiene como objetivo el análisis de algunos de los libros ilustrados creados por estos autores chicanos, en su mayoría vinculados al mundo de la educación, para explorar como mediante su obra, muestran que su experiencia es dinámica, diversa y compleja. Partiendo del análisis crítico multicultural, analizo cómo a través de sus representaciones verbales y visuales estos autores transforman sus fronteras en lugares de contacto y de empatía para hacer que su realidad lingüística y cultural sea visible.

El Movimiento, the Chicano Civil Rights Movement, was born within the Civil Rights Movement which took place in the United States in the 1960s. The passing of the Bilingual Education Act (1974) was a turning point for Chicano/a children since bilingual programs were introduced in schools, and it also brought about the publication of bilingual books dealing with relevant issues for Chicano children, especially the exposure to languages and contexts different from the prevalent Anglophone culture. From that moment, and especially during the 1980s and the 1990s with the rise of Multiculturalism in the publishing industry, for Chicano/a authors of children’s books it has been important to provide Chicano/a children with representations of their identity and culture through their books, so that bilingual and immigrant children could see their reality reflected in the books they read both in the language they were taught at school, English, and the language many of them spoke at home, Spanish. My proposal aims at analyzing some of the picturebooks created by these Chicano authors, most of them linked to the world of education, to explore how through their work they show that their experience is dynamic, diverse, and complex. Within the framework of the Critical Multicultural Analysis, I analyze how through their verbal and visual representations, these authors transform their borders into places of contact and empathy in order to make their linguistic and cultural reality visible.
