  • Jose Anguiano [email protected] Mexican Blood, American Heart: Listening for Home, Gender and Affect in Chicana/O Smiths/Morrissey Fandom
    Jose Anguiano [email protected] Mexican Blood, American Heart: Listening for Home, Gender and Affect in Chicana/o Smiths/Morrissey fandom This Night Has Opened My Eyes On December 10th 2009 Morrissey was in concert in Los Angeles in support of his new release “Swords,” a compilation of previously unreleased B-sides. I ventured out there with two friends acting as research assistants, a video camera, an audio recorder, and a clip board full of research consent forms to see if any fans would talk with me about their Morrissey fandom. We arrived at 3:30pm to find approximately thirty people waiting in line for a show that started at 8:00pm. The low number of fans waiting in line reflected the fact that most fans had reserved seats except for small general admission “pit” at the front of the stage. All the fans in line had general admission tickets and arrived as early as they could to vie for a spot near the front of the stage. The fans appeared to be of various ethnic backgrounds, ages and styles of dress. I noticed that whites and Latinos made up most of the fans in line but I would later find much more diversity in ethnic backgrounds as I went around and talked with fans. Of interest to me right away was the one African-American woman in line, who would later refuse to even speak to us, the young Latino rockabilly kids in the middle of the pack and the group of white youth that were first in line.

  • Latino Identity
    General Identity - Books Chapter Four: Latino Identity General Identity - Books Note: The authors could not locate enough books citations in this category to warrant its division into sub-categories similar to those specified for journal articles. Aldama, Arturo J. 2001. Disrupting Savagism: Intersecting Chicana/o, Mexican Immigrant, and Native American Struggles for Self-Representation. Durham: Duke University Press. Colonial discourse in the United States has tended to criminalize, pathologize, and depict as savage not only Native Americans but Mexican immigrants, indigenous peoples in Mexico, and Chicanas/os as well. While postcolonial studies of the past few decades have focused on how these ethnicities have been constructed by others, Disrupting Savagism reveals how each group, in turn, has actively attempted to create for itself a social and textual space in which certain nega- tive prevailing discourses are neutralized and rendered ineffective. Arturo J. Aldama begins by presenting a genealogy of the term “savage,” looking in particular at the work of American eth- nologist Lewis Henry Morgan and a sixteenth-century debate between Juan Ginés de Sepúlveda and Bartolomé de las Casas. Aldama then turns to more contemporary narratives, examining ethnography, fiction, autobiography, and film to illuminate the historical ideologies and eth- nic perspectives that contributed to identity formation over the centuries. These works include anthropologist Manuel Gamio’s The Mexican Immigrant: His Life Story, Leslie Marmon Silko’s Ceremony, Gloria Anzaldúa’s Borderlands/La Frontera, and Miguel Arteta’s filmStar Maps. By using these varied genres to investigate the complex politics of racialized, subaltern, feminist, and diasporic identities, Aldama reveals the unique epistemic logic of hybrid and mestiza/o cultural productions.

  • Joanne Medrano
    Let’s Take a Walk Down Whittier Boulevard: The Significance of the Whittier Boulevard Merchants Association as Community Builders in East Los Angeles Joanne Medrano By the early 1970s, the Mexican American community of East Los Angeles had begun to develop and cultivate their ethnic identity.1 Through this process, the Chicano community started to address concerns within their neighborhood, and as a result several groups in East LA used Whittier Boulevard, as a cultural and social space to promote their own agendas and objectives. Most notably, Chicano activists asserted claim over the space during the Chicano Moratorium and the Brown Berets gained political influence by setting up a free community clinic on the street.2 At the same time, Chicano youth cruised the Boulevard as a way to express their 1 The term Chicano as it is used in this paper refers to the generation of Mexican Americans who began to use the term to express their identity. Before the Chicano Movement, the term had negative connotations. In the 1960s, Mexican American youth reclaimed the term to express their shared cultural and ethnic identity. The term also took on political meaning as this group began to cultivate a political consciousness. I use this term explicitly throughout the paper to represent this specific meaning; as such, it should not be assumed that it is interchangeable with the term Mexican American. 2 For more on the Brown Berets, see Dionne Espinoza, “'Revolutionary Sisters:’ Women’s Solidarity and Collective identification Among Chicana Brown Berets in East Los Angeles 1967-1970.” Aztlán. 26, no.

    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, Santa Barbara Los Angeles Latinx Ska: Subaltern Rhythms, Co-optation of Sound, and New Cultural Visions from a Transnational Latin America A Thesis submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Master of Arts in Latin American and Iberian Studies by Denny Alvarez Committee in charge: Professor Casey Walsh, Chair Professor George Lipsitz Professor William I. Robinson December 2018 The thesis of Denny Alvarez is approved. _____________________________________ George Lipsitz _____________________________________ William I. Robinson _____________________________________ Casey Walsh, Chair December 2018 ACKNOWLEGEMENTS First and foremost, I want to thank the Latinx youth of Southern California who create, attend, perform, dance, and ultimately allow musical spaces of solidarity to exist. This includes but is not limited to those who agreed to the interviews but also to those who have made the effort for these spaces to exist long before I decided to write this thesis. Without their history of creative forms of expression and organization this study would not have been possible. Specifically, I want to thank Tony for being a point of reference, for introducing me to new people, and to potential interviewees. I extend my gratitude to Jonny of SoCal Syndicate who also provided me with invaluable information of the complex forms of organization that are needed for these spaces. It was truly inspiring to witness the amount of work and effort Jonny makes to create and sustain the musical space. I am also grateful to Jesus of Emphatic Entertainment for his insight and for the efforts he makes to extend the Ska scene beyond Los Angeles such as in Las Vegas and the Inland Empire.

  • The Battle of Los Angeles: the Cultural Politics of Chicana/O Music in the Greater Eastside
    Battle of Los Angeles | 719 The Battle of Los Angeles: The Cultural Politics of Chicana/o Music in the Greater Eastside Victor Hugo Viesca Chicanos are, when you call yourself that, you know your history, you know where you came from, you know where you need to go. —Yoatl, Aztlán Underground1 I try to find my own Chicana sensibility in the dance. —Martha Gonzales, Quetzal2 ast Los Angeles is the center of a flourishing musical cultural scene with a renewed “Chicana/o” sensibility.3 This scene is being led by a E collective of socially conscious and politically active Latin-fusion bands that emerged in the 1990s, including Aztlán Underground, Blues Experiment, Lysa Flores, Ozomatli, Ollin, Quetzal, Quinto Sol, Slowrider, and Yeska. These groups compose original songs that weave together the sounds of the Ameri- cas, from soul, samba, and the son jarocho to reggae, rumba, and rap. Multilin- gual lyrics in Spanish, English, Cálo, or Nahuatl that speak to themes of urban exile, indigenous identity, and multiracial unity are layered over the music to produce a sonic Chicana/o imaginary of the global city in the twenty-first century.4 Several of the bands within the scene have released full-length al- bums on their own independent record labels such as Xicano Records and Film (Aztlán Underground and Quinto Sol), De Volada Records (Slowrider and Blues Experiment), and Lysa Flores’s Bring Your Love Records (see dis- cography). The bands often collaborate with one another, producing or play- ing on each other’s records and touring on the same bill.
