- Abstract
- Perla Cavazos (AB Anthropology, 1997) shares memories of student movements at Stanford and her journey to political consciousness as young Latina in the 1990s. She describes the vibrant Latinx community that embraced her during her time as a first-year student, her memories living in various ethnic-themed dorms including Casa Zapata and Ujamaa, and the Latina mentorship she found in various faculty members such as Anna Marie Porras, Cecilia Burciaga, and Yvonne Yarbro-Bejarano. Cavazos also describes her involvement in student organizing in solidarity with the Farm Worker’s Rights Movement and the Hunger Strike of 1994.
