This project traces the multiple strains of Aztlan, the legendary homeland of the Aztecs, in hopes of maintaining the global anti-colonial trajectory of the late-1960s. By understanding the nuances of Aztlan, this dissertation will facilitate a more complex awareness of the movimiento chicano, as well as other self-determining social movements. Initially, indigenous elites conceptualized Aztlan as the homeland from whence the Mexica, one of the tribal units collectively known as the Aztecs, departed on their way to found their imperial home at Tenochtitlan (present-day Mexico City). According to many historians, Aztlan functioned in an ideological manner that legitimized the Mexica subjugation of other Nahuatl-speaking peoples in central Mexico. Following the foundation of the Aztec confederacy, Aztlan remained an important ideological construct for Mexica elites, but lost its meaning with the arrival of Spanish conquistadores in 1519, at which time it morphed into a dissimilar concept.

520 $a This project traces the multiple strains of Aztlan, the legendary homeland of the Aztecs, in hopes of maintaining the global anti-colonial trajectory of the late-1960s. By understanding the nuances of Aztlan, this dissertation will facilitate a more complex awareness of the movimiento chicano, as well as other self-determining social movements. Initially, indigenous elites conceptualized Aztlan as the homeland from whence the Mexica, one of the tribal units collectively known as the Aztecs, departed on their way to found their imperial home at Tenochtitlan (present-day Mexico City). According to many historians, Aztlan functioned in an ideological manner that legitimized the Mexica subjugation of other Nahuatl-speaking peoples in central Mexico. Following the foundation of the Aztec confederacy, Aztlan remained an important ideological construct for Mexica elites, but lost its meaning with the arrival of Spanish conquistadores in 1519, at which time it morphed into a dissimilar concept.
520 $a Centuries thereafter during the late-1960s, in conjunction with the global movements of anti-colonialism and anti-capitalism, Chicana/o activists recuperated and reconfigured this ancient indigenous notion as a way to sanction and decriminalize their presence in the United States. For these young activists, the US Southwest was (and continues to be) Aztlan. But Aztlan is concurrently something more profound and abstract than a purely geographical place.
520 $a As such, this dissertation investigates Aztlan as a hybrid site that combines both Indigenous Mesoamerican and European (both Hispanic and Anglophone) worldviews and perspectives. By exploring the artwork and visual culture produced by artists such as Gilbert "Magu" Lujan, Malaquias Montoya, Nora Chapa Mendoza, Santa Barraza, the Xicano Development Center, and Carlos Cortez Koyokuikatl, I demonstrate the multiplicity of functions that Aztlan performs.
520 $a This project intends to recuperate Aztlan as a site of liberation, even for non-Latinas/os, while inserting Midwest Chicana/o cultural practices into the discussion. Secondary to these primary concerns are the critique of the false binary between Chicano nationalism and Chicana feminism, as well as the reciprocity between radical Chicana/o politics and anarchist direct action. Additionally, this dissertation issues a critique on double consciousness, mestiza consciousness, and biological discussions of cultural practices.
