Interviews with Cholas and Two or Three Vatos, Sunday afternoon at a Young People’s Dance Club, Chihuahua, Chihuahua
This compilation of interviews was taken in a dance club in Chihuahua, Chihuahua, Mexico and features several people. The interviewer asks men and women in the club what barrio they belong to, how they became part of it, and whether they had to fight another member of the barrio to obtain membership. Different people in the club mention gangs from Chihuahua, Ciudad Juarez, Chihuahua, Mexico and California gangs. Multiple interviewees explain that not all barrios and not all cholos fight, and that many are calmer, but they are still stereotyped by non-cholos. Other interviewees, including women, describe fights they have been in with other barrios, and discuss some of the customs associated with fighting.
