Violence and national belonging on the home front. -- Zoot violence in Los Angeles -- Race riots across the United States -- Epilogue : From Zoot Suits to Hip-Hop. 520 1 $a "Flamboyant zoot suit culture, with its ties to fashion, jazz and swing music, jitterbug and Lindy Hop dancing, unique patterns of speech, and even risque experimentation with gender and sexuality, captivated the country's youth in the 1940s. The Power of the Zoot is the first book to give national consideration to this famous phenomenon. Providing a new history of youth culture based on rare, in-depth interviews with former zoot-suiters, Luis Alvarez explores race, region, and the politics of culture in urban America during World War II. He argues that Mexican American and African American youths, along with many nisei and white youths, used popular culture to oppose accepted modes of youthful behavior, the dominance of white middle-class norms, and expectations from within their own communities."--BOOK JACKET. 650 0 $a Popular culture $z United States $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Youth $z United States $x Social life and customs $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Minority youth $z United States $x Social life and customs $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Fashion $z United States $x History $y 20th century. 651 0 $a United States $x Social life and customs $y 1918-1945. 651 0 $a United States $x Social conditions $y 20th century. 651 0 $a United States $x Race relations. 650 0 $a World War, 1939-1945 $x Social aspects $z United States. 650 0 $a Sleepy Lagoon Trial, Los Angeles, 1942-1943. 650 0 $a Zoot Suit Riots, Los Angeles, Calif., 1943. 830 0 $a American crossroads ; $v 24. 856 41 $3 Table of contents only $u http://www.loc.gov/catdir/toc/ecip0725/2007033316.html 941 $a 4 952 $l USUX851 $d 20240202024329.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20180126034201.0 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20100503124204.0 952 $l PTAX572 $d 20100120073657.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=7464BB32FBD011DEB3E93EDF5F36B428 994 $a 02 $b NIUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
