B orn in East L.A. This article is an attempt to map in general sense the origins and development of the Chicano movement in The United States. The reason why a term like’’Chicano/-a’’ was coined and what it means politically, socially, economically and also is going to be discussed in depth. The term Chicano or Chicana (also spelled Xicano or Xicana) was coined to characterize Latinos as American born, but originally based in Mexico. Filmed in 1987, the movie ‘ ’Born in East L.A. ’’ is a cultural representation of Xicanos, that’s why this movie has become a great source for me to fill the term ‘’Chicano/-a’’ to form the basis for my assignment and be able to be more open in terms of elucidating the new identity called ‘’chicano’’today.

Pueblos Silenciosos/沉默的社区：在谷物内，反对谷物

出生在东洛杉矶 本文试图从一般意义上描绘美国奇卡诺运动的起源和发展。像“Chicano/-a”这样的术语被创造出来的原因以及它在政治、社会、经济上的含义以及将进行深入讨论。术语 Chicano 或 Chicana（也拼写为 Xicano 或 Xicana）是用来形容拉丁裔美国人出生的，但最初居住在墨西哥。拍摄于 1987 年的电影“生于东洛杉矶”是 Xicanos 的文化代表，这就是为什么这部电影成为我填充“Chicano/-a”一词的重要来源，以形成我的基础分配并能够在阐明今天称为“chicano”的新身份方面更加开放。
