On the contrary, as this dissertation argues, white writers often drew characters that use domesticity to colonize Indian and Mexican women, usually to legitimize their own public activities. Moreover, I show how Indian and Mexican-American women writers manipulate domestic rhetoric to assert a syncretic domesticity that negotiates resistance and assimilation. Interpreting memoirs, novels, Indian boarding school essays, Mexican-American cookbooks, and the visual culture that surrounds their publication, I argue that such responses were in no way isolated or exceptional, nor were they merely responses. Native and Latina women collectively rewrite colonial domesticity and write their own domesticity.
