Beschreibung:
"Powerful and innovative, "The Woman in the Zoot Suit" will serve as a foundational text for future studies on culture, race, gender, and sexuality. Catherine S. Ramirez expertly reveals the complexities of pachuca identity, the extent of Mexican American women zoot suiters' representation in and engagement with popular culture and mainstream media, and, ultimately, the ways that these young women disrupted dominant notions of U.S., Mexican American, and Chicana/o identity, nationalism, and family."--Luis Alvarez, author of "The Power of the Zoot: Youth Culture and Resistance during World War II"
