Abstract Details

2024, Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.), Bowling Green State University, American Culture Studies.
This dissertation is based on the lived experiences of five first-generation Latina Immigrants in Norwest, Ohio. The project situates Ohio–a state that is not currently seen as a border state–as a physical border and a borderland. The participants became Latina after they arrived in the United States. I explore my participants’ understanding of their Latinidad and what their definitions involve. The last chapter focuses on the relationship between being Latina with belonging and citizenship in Northwest Ohio. Through their day-to-day activities, my five participants have learned to be Latina and have created a sense of belonging in the place where they live via their own definitions of belonging and citizenship.
