PROMPT: During the 1930s,1940s, and 1950s, did Mexican American Angelenos conform to national fads(trends) and consumerism (Consumerism is an economic theory that consumer spending is the key to individual well-being), as the “mass culture” paradigm (pattern) would suggest, or did they create their own alternative or oppositional (resisting, and refusing) readings of big band jazz, the jitterbug, the zoot suit, boogie-woogie, and rock and roll, as the “cultural populist” paradigm would suggest?
I am going with that Mexican American Angelenos created their own version/alternative readings of the genres mentioned above, but will only talk about jitterbug, the zoot suit, and boogie-woogie. PLEASE ONLY USE THE BOOK I AM PROVIDING BEFORE IT IS THE PROFESSOR’S BOOK, THANK YOU SO MUCH!
The book is called: Mexican American Mojo: Popular Music, Dance, and Urban Culture in Los Angeles, 1935-1968, by Anthony Macias.
