Abstract
- This article examines the local reception of global Spanish-language soap operas, or telenovelas. Developed from a 2-year ethnography of Mexican American media consumption in San Antonio, Texas, this article explores how young people talked about Mexican telenovelas in daily life. The researcher selected one telenovela to analyze as it was watched from its beginning to end. From the data, the researcher concluded that the telenovela, within certain limits, reflected some of the national, ethnic, gender, and class tensions that defined the viewers' identities as working-class, Mexican American girls.
