MALCS Mission statement:
Mujeres Activas en Letras y Cambio Social (MALCS, Women Active in Letters and
Social Change) is an organization of Chicanas/ Latinas and Native American women
working in academia and in community settings with a common goal: to work toward
the support, education and dissemination of Chicana/ Latina and Native American
women's issues. Chicanas/Latinas and Native American women from a variety of
institutions gather at this yearly Summer Institute to network, share
information, offer support and re-energize. The MALCS Summer Institute is one of
the few places Chicanas/Latinas and Native American women can come together
without the influence of male and/or Euro-American consciousness or opinion.
While some charge that this is separatist, the MALCS reply is not one of
apology. This is our space. The dynamics of this Chicana/Latina and Native
American woman space is worth guarding, even in the face of criticism from those
we respect and work with in our home institutions. (--Laredo, Texas, 1991)
