Publisher Synopsis
"Mexican American Mojo is a timely and engaging work that thoroughly demonstrates the development of popular Mexican American culture in mid-twentieth-century Los Angeles. Anthony Macias has written an illuminating and remarkable study that belongs in the library of anyone interested in Mexican American culture."-Raul A. Fernandez, author of From Afro-Cuban Rhythms to Latin Jazz "I am especially excited by the interviews Anthony Macias conducted, which make central perspectives long missing from scholarship on jazz, swing, and R & B. Macias's method of looking at Los Angeles's social geography of race and ethnicity 'through a prism of popular music' will be of great interest to those interested in the histories of popular music, Mexican America, and Los Angeles."-Sherrie Tucker, author of Swing Shift: "All-Girl" Bands of the 1940s Read more...
