Abstract

Mexican society follows patriarchal trends that can be observed in Mexican “Chicano” culture. The present research focused on the patriarchal nature of Chicano culture with the help of novel The Rain God by Arturo Islas; it also traces the elements responsible for the construction of patriarchal behaviors in the 19th century Mexican society. Banking on the review of non-fictional works in the present realm, this research explores the construction of patriarchy from a post-colonial perspective, with the help of New Historical lens, to spot the prominent features of the rise of patriarchal behaviors in Latin American fiction. The relationship that men and women enjoy in Chicano society always suffers with power irregularity, which this research suggests has deeper roots in colonization of Latin America.
