Listening to Rosita - The Business of Tejana Music and Culture 1930-1955

Klappentext In Listening to Rosita , Villarreal seeks answers by pursuing the story of a small group of Tejana singers and entrepreneurs in Corpus Christi, Houston, and San Antonio--the "Texas Triangle"--during the mid-twentieth century. Ultimately she recovers a social world and cultural landscape in central south Texas where Mexican American women negotiated the shifting boundaries of race and economics to assert a public presence.
