A term reflecting pride in the indigenous roots of the Mexican American people. It gained wide political and popular favor among Mexican American activists during the 1960s civil rights movement and has reemerged as a political term especially among academics and political activists. Chicana is the feminine form of this word. See Hispanic, Latino/Latina.
(Spanish) A male of Mexican ancestry who lives in the United States and identifies himself as Chicano (or Xicano). The female form is Chicana. In the late 1960s (and continuing into the present), Chicanos (both men and women) formed active political and artistic movements.
The poorer, stupider, more assimilated cousins of Mexicans. Otherwise known as a Mexican-American.
Chicano is a cultural identity for persons who live in the United States and have a strong sense of Mexican-American ethnic identity and an accompanying political consciousness. The term's meaning has changed over time and varies regionally. It is worth noting that not all Mexican Americans proud of their heritage use the term Chicano.
