The Power of the Zoot: Youth Culture and Resistance During World War II Hardcover - 2008
by Luis Alvarez
From the jacket flap
"Luis Alvarez has quite simply crafted a magnificent first book--one that tells a national story from African American and Mexican American youth in New York and Los Angeles to Nisei, Filipino, and Euro-American zooters and the wartime race-based violence that erupted in Detroit, Beaumont, and Mobile."--Vicki L. Ruiz, author of From Out of the Shadows: Mexican Women in Twentieth-Century America
"Alvarez has broken new ground, with implications for our understanding of minority youth cultures of the past and today."--Edward J. Escobar, author of Race, Police, and the Making of a Political Identity: Mexican Americans and the Los Angeles Police Department, 1900-1945Details
