Chicanx utopias pop culture and the politics of the possible / Luis Alvarez   Author:  Alvarez, Luis, 1972- author Title:  Chicanx utopias pop culture and the politics of the possible / Luis Alvarez Publisher:  Austin University of Texas Press 2022 Copyright:  ©2022 Description:  1 online resource (220 pages) illustrations (some color) Electronic Resource:  https://smithsonian.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/smithsonian/detail.action?docID=6845305 Series:  Historia USA Notes:  Online resource; title from PDF title page (De Gruyter platform, viewed June 6, 2022) Summary:  Amid the rise of neoliberalism, globalization, and movements for civil rights and global justice in the post-World War II era, Chicanxs in film, music, television, and art weaponized culture to combat often oppressive economic and political conditions. They envisioned utopias that, even if never fully realized, reimagined the world and linked seemingly disparate people and places. In the latter half of the twentieth century, Chicanx popular culture forged a politics of the possible and gave rise to utopian dreams that sprang from everyday experiences. In Chicanx Utopias, Luis Alvarez offers a broad study of these utopian visions from the 1950s to the 2000s. Probing the film Salt of the Earth, brown-eyed soul music, sitcoms, poster art, and borderlands reggae music, he examines how Chicanx pop culture, capable of both liberation and exploitation, fostered interracial and transnational identities, engaged social movements, and produced varied utopian visions with divergent possibilities and limits. Grounded in the theoretical frameworks of Walter Benjamin, Stuart Hall, and the Zapatista movement, this book reveals how Chicanxs articulated pop cultural utopias to make sense of, challenge, and improve the worlds they inhabited "The book explores race, politics, Chicanx history, and social movements to offer a broad examination of Chicanx popular culture since World War II and the utopian visions it articulated"-- Bibliography Note:  Includes bibliographical references (pages 191-207) and index Contents:  Salt of the Earth -- Brown-eyed soul -- Chico and Kotter -- No human being is illegal -- Border reggae -- Coda: Ngātahi Local Note:  Elecresource Purchased with Adopt-A-Book Funds Subject:  Mexican Americans in popular culture -- Political aspects -- United States -- History -- 20th century Mexican Americans in popular culture -- Political aspects -- United States -- History -- 21st century Mexican Americans and mass media -- Political aspects -- United States -- History -- 20th century Mexican Americans and mass media -- Political aspects -- United States -- History -- 21st century Mexican Americans -- Social life and customs -- Political aspects -- United States -- History -- 20th century Mexican Americans -- Political activity -- United States Chicano movement Utopias -- United States Utopias in mass media.
