  • On Luis Valdez
    ashley lucas university of north carolina at chapel hill Reinventing the Pachuco The Radical Transformation from the Criminalized to the Heroic in Luis Valdez’s Play Zoot Suit n 12 January 1943, at the highly publicized Sleepy Lagoon mur- der trial, a court wrongly convicted seventeen young men from Othe 38th Street neighborhood for murder and assault associated with the death of a young Mexican American named José Díaz.1 Th e Zoot Suit Riots occurred later that spring when members of the U.S. Navy and Marines attacked Mexican American youths, beat them, and stripped them naked in the streets of Los Angeles.2 In 1978, Luis Valdez’s landmark play Zoot Suit opened at the Mark Taper Forum in Los Angeles and in doing so became the first professionally produced Chicana/o play.3 All three events reflect the performance of terror in Mexican American communities and the processes of racial othering that create that terror. In his book Stages of Terror: Terrorism, Ideology, and Coercion as Th eatre History, Anthony Kubiak describes the fundamental links between the performance of terror in life to the performance of terror in theater and the media.4 He sees acts of terror as necessarily taking place in view of a specific audience, those being terrorized. Acts committed with the intention of inspiring terror in others possess a theatrical or performative quality; they put on a show to elicit the specific emotional response of terror. This article examines the ways in which the play Zoot Suit reshapes performances of terror from the Journal for the Study of Radicalism, Vol.

The boys who comprise the gangs have to undergo rigorous initiations before being qualified for membership. In one of the more exclusive gangs initiates, usually aged about nine, have to drink twelve glasses of dago-red wine and have a revolver pressed into their temples while they take the pledge. Source: Gangs (1927). Time, 9(13), 11. Introduction The above excerpt comes from a 1927 article in Time Magazine that identifies local gangs in New York City and their activities.

NORIEGA_ TABLE OF CONTENTS Director’s Message………………………………………………………………….3 CSRC Administration, Staff, Faculty, and Associates..……………………………6 Projects and Grantees………………………………………………………………11 Research……………………………………………………………………………16 CSRC Postdoctoral Fellows, Visiting Scholars, and Graduate Associates………..34 Dissemination of Research…………………………………………………………40 Press………………………………………………………………………………..43 Library and Archive…………..……………………………………………………53 Academic and Community Relations……………………………………………...63 CSRC Facilities…………………………………………………………….………71 Appendices…………………………………………………………….…………..72 2 DIRECTOR’S MESSAGE The UCLA Chicano Studies Research Center was founded in 1969 with a commitment to foster multi-disciplinary research as part of the overall mission of the university. The CSRC was among the first research units in the nation established to advance our knowledge and understanding of the contributions that Chicanos and Latinos have made to U.S. history, thought, and culture. The CSRC serves the entire campus and supports faculty and students in the social sciences, life sciences, humanities, and the professional schools. The center’s research also addresses the current needs of the growing Chicano and Latino population, which continues to have disproportionately low access to higher education even though it constitutes nearly one- third the population of California and one-half that of Los Angeles. Given the CSRC’s broad campus- and community-wide mandate, it reports directly to the Office of the Chancellor at UCLA. The CSRC also forms part of the Inter-University Program for Latino Research (IUPLR), a consortium of Latino research centers located at sixteen institutions in the United States. The CSRC houses a library and special collections archive, an academic press, research projects, community-based partnerships, competitive grant and fellowship programs, and the Los Tigres del Norte Fund.
