Informationen zum Autor Anthony Macías is Associate Professor of Ethnic Studies at the University of California, Riverside. Klappentext "I am especially excited by the interviews Anthony Macias conducted, which make central perspectives long missing from scholarship on jazz, swing, and R & B. Macias's method of looking at Los Angeles's social geography of race and ethnicity 'through a prism of popular music' will be of great interest to those interested in the histories of popular music, Mexican America, and Los Angeles."--Sherrie Tucker, author of "Swing Shift: "All-Girl" Bands of the 1940s" Zusammenfassung A study of the creation of jazz! swing! and R & B music within the multicultural! multiethnic terrain of Los Angeles Inhaltsverzeichnis Illustrations xi Acknowledgments xv Introduction.
