5/4 Draft Questions - Clarissa Lunday
1) In "Mixing" in the Kitchen, Dr. Martha Gonzalez argues that fandango challenges mothers who engage in collective songwriting are preforming an act of resistance (p. 70). Why do you think this is and what are other way that fandango is a form of resistance?
2) Gonzalez also writes, "In fandango the tarima is a space where the 'collective consciousness' of women gathers in the presence of community" (p. 78). As Avendanos notes, tarima is mainly preformed by women. How is this space a form of "collective consciousness"?
3) Chocolate by Maya Jupiter is a song about the cocoa trade from the perspective of a child who works in the cocoa field. How do you think this song brings awareness to child slave labor in the cocoa trade?
4) The Seattle Fandango Project is a form of convivencia that Gonzalez names in Caminos y Conciones en Los Angeles, CA and "Mixing" in the Kitchen. What are other ways that we can preform convivencia besides in fandango music and dance?
