Rosa Linda Fregoso states in an introduction to her book, The Bronze Screen that "Chicano refers to a space where subjectivity is produced." (Fregoso) The message I got from what Fregoso quote meant is that many people have their own opinions; for example they may believe that in order to be Chicano you must be of Mexican decent, dress a certain way, talk with a certain attitude. However if this were the case Chicano would be considered a race but it is not. Fregoso emphasizes clearly that the root idea of Chicanismo is praxis. She asserts that there isn’t any set characteristics one must have in order to be considered a Chicano however it’s about acknowledging problems that arise in the community and dealing with them in a positive manner.
