Here he recounts how his youthful experiences in the barrio La Veinte of Santa Monica in the 1940s prepared him for early success in music and how his triumphs and seductive brushes with stardom were met with tragedy and crushing disappointments. Brutally honest and open, Confessions of a Radical Chicano Doo-Wop Singer is an often hilarious and self-critical look inside the struggle of becoming an artist and a man. Recognizing racial identity as composite, contested, and complex, Guevara--an American artist of Mexican descent--embraces a Chicano identity of his own design, calling himself a Chicano 'culture sculptor' who has worked to transform the aspirations, alienations, and indignities of the Mexican American people into an aesthetic experience that could point the way to liberation"--Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Guevara, Ruben. 650 0 $a Rock musicians $z United States $v Biography. 650 0 $a Mexican American musicians $z California, Southern $v Biography. 700 1 $a Lipsitz, George, $e writer of foreword. 700 1 $a Kun, Josh, $e writer of foreword. 776 08 $i Online version: $a Guevara, Ruben. $t Confessions of a radical Chicano doo wop singer. $d Oakland, California : University of California Press, [2018] $z 9780520969667 $w (DLC) 2017054483 830 0 $a American crossroads. 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20180605014215.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=48163EA84DCE11E89F5D1D5C97128E48 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
